Hi, The best way to launch appium is create a bash file with “/usr/local/bin/appuim” (ignore quotation) command name it as Appium.command, Whenever you required to launch the appium call the bash file Thx ---

I think this will launch the Appium UI app… how are you going to automate the process of setting the server configurations?? We are taking about starting the Appium server programmatically with server configurations, not starting the UI app… ---

On OS X, I just install appium using npm: ``` $ npm install -g appium ``` I have `/usr/local/bin` in my $PATH (if you don’t you will need to add it), so I can then just start appium from the command line and issue any options I need. I leave the window open so that I can see the appium console messages. ``` $ appium --port 4723 --safari ``` Obviously, in this case you are not fiddling with Appium.app and its GUI, but running a ‘different’ appium installed as a node module. Have fun … ---

I haven’t written the code yet.

I tried it on Mac OS 10.9 and it is working correctly as the following screenshot shows: > Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node\_modules/appium/bin/appium.js ![](https://discuss.appium.io/uploads/default/907/7cd6ce8f9ef8a06f.PNG) I am not sure why it is showing _ **“iOS Simulator”** _ in your error message!!!

Alright, looks like the Reset indeed helped here. But, I see that I still need to launch it somehow as I am getting: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it Is there an additional parameter I need to pass to launch it automatically?

Hey, it’s me, bugging again 😄 After I managed to launch Appium via terminal I am trying to do so programmatically using [SSH.NET](http://SSH.NET) library (my tests being written in .Net) This is how I initiate the test: ``` SshClient ssh = new SshClient(myURL, 22, myUser, myPass); string unixCommand = "node /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js --address 127.0.0.1 --port 4723 --full-reset --device-name \"iPhone 6\" --platform-name iOS --platform-version \"8.3\" --app \"myApp.app\" --browser-name iOS -l --log /Users/QA/Library/Logs/Appium/1.log"; { ssh.Connect(); ssh.RunCommand(unixCommand); ssh.Disconnect(); ``` Now for some reason, Appium is initiated successfully with my tested app in the emulator and all. But then, I get stuck in the RunCommand part until the session times out. I expect to move on to ssh.Disconnect but I just get stuck there in the initiation. Any idea? Thanks, Pavel ---
