  1. open command prompt and check that node is available there: “node -v”
  2. if version of your node will show now install appium with “npm -g appium@beta” = latest

Thanks for your reply… Yes in command prompt able to view v6.11.1 as node version.
and when i type above command as “npm -g appium@beta” = latest i’m getting error message as above command not recognized as an internal or external command.

please advice me and thanks.

maybe we do not understand each other :-). you need to type:

npm install -g appium@beta

and hit Enter key.
