6 Installing Appium

Install Appium using NPM.

After the cmd using the command NPM install-g Appium under Appium (the entire process is slow, please wait patiently) after the installation succeeds, the following information appears in CMD input appium to indicate that the installation was successful:

At this point, the Appium installation process is complete.

Running environment 1 Installing the MAVEN plugin

To modify the MAVEN repository storage location:

Find the Settings.xml configuration file under Maven under Conf, mine is in D:\apache-maven-3.2.5\conf\settings.xml

The MAVEN repository defaults to the. M2 folder under the local user's Temp folder under Repository, mine is under the C:\Users\admcnm\.m2\repository directory,

Now let's modify to assign it to our own path, I'm now going to assign the repository to the D:\Repositories\Maven directory, just open the local repository that was logged off.

Then write the corresponding path value in it:

OK, first to experience maven, knock in CMD and enter to execute: MVN help:system

That's when Maven downloads a whole bunch of stuff from the remote repository, it's okay, let it download, and sooner or later it's going to be downloaded,

The next step is to install the Maven plugin in Eclipse,

There are two of the most common ways that Eclipse installs plug-ins:
1. One is the online installation, which seems to be the most used, that is: Help-and install New software, and then enter the HTTP address for installation, but there is a clear drawback: is slow! (Can be solved by FQ)
2. One is off-line installation, the way to install the link, this way can be better, can be plugged in and unplugged at any time, very convenient.

Eclipse MAVEN3 Installation:

1. Use the first way to install anyone, just enter the HTTP address: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e, tick the option, then wait for it to download and install, then restart Eclipse after completion.
2. Here I do not say the type of online installation, for two reasons: first, after installation is not good management; second, the download is too slow; what I'm going to say next is to use the link method to install the Maven3 plugin offline.

The website does not provide MAVEN plug-in offline installation package, general, you search on the Internet, lucky words should be able to find. I've compiled MAVEN's offline packages for people who need them to download,

Click here to download the link directly: http://115.com/file/dpk80gj0#eclipse-maven3-plugin.7z

Link installs Eclipse maven plugin offline

2. Unzip the eclipse-maven3-plugin.7z downloaded from the web to Eclipse\dropins

After Eclipse 3.6, you don't need to write a link. Just put the plugin you downloaded and put it under the eclipse\dropins.

For example: My maven plugin directory:
D:\eclipse\dropins\maven\

Then restart Eclipse

Check that the Maven plugin for Eclipse is installed successfully: Window--Preferences

To configure MAVEN:
1. Click the Add button to select the path value of your native MAVEN installation

2. Click the Browse button, select your Maven setting.xml profile, then click OK to complete the configuration of the Eclipse Maven plugin

Eclipse will help you automatically download the MAVEN plugin jar package and wait patiently

Run Tests

1. Connect the phone or launch the Android emulator.

2. Start Appium in cmd

3. Open a different cmd terminal window. Switch to the instance code path

4. Run MVN test for project construction you can see the value output in the Appium terminal window and start running the script on the emulator or phone.

5. Done.
