Hi,

I am trying to start server on MAC using following command:

**java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.46.0.jar -role hub**

output:  
18:22:29.795 INFO - Launching Selenium Grid hub

18:22:30.396 INFO - Selenium Grid hub is up and running

Now am trying to register a node by using node.js file with capabilities & configuration as below

**{  
“capabilities”:

“platform”:”ANDROID”,  
“deviceName”:”TA0940A4Y3”;  
}  
],  
“configuration”:  
{  
“nodeTimeout”:120,  
“port”:4728,  
“hubPort”:4444,  
“proxy”:”org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy”,  
“url”:”[http://127.0.0.1:4728/wd/hub”](http://127.0.0.1:4728/wd/hub%E2%80%9D),  
“hub”:”[http://127.0.0.1:4444/grid/register”](http://127.0.0.1:4444/grid/register%E2%80%9D),  
“hubHost”:”127.0.0.1”,

“maxSession”:2  
}  
}**

and am trying to execute the following command to register

**cd /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/  
$ node /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node\_modules/appium/bin/appium.js --address 127.0.0.1 --port 4728 -bp 2252 --udid TA0940A4Y3 --nodeconfig /Users/sandeep/Documents/node1.js**

output:

Remove `"` and retype it, they aren’t the same as they look.
