====================

The roadmap for Web Automation testing is this: programming language Fundamentals---> Testing framework--->webdriver API---> Developing automated test Projects.

The course of testing for mobile automation is longer: programming language Fundamentals---> Testing frameworks--->android/ios development testing Fundamentals---->appium API-----> Develop mobile automation projects.

=====================

Appium test environment is relatively cumbersome to build, I believe that a lot of scholars have not started learning has died in the environment to build. So, first of all, I will introduce the whole process of environmental construction.

1, on the one hand installs many things, on the other hand by "the wall" the disturbance causes this process to be more troublesome.

2, I this process some steps do not have to do so, I temporarily not clear why, but then I do you must set up the environment.

3, my environment is WIN10 64, the installation process only applies to my environment.

Section I installation Appium

Appium Official website: http://appium.io/

The official homepage gives the installation steps of the Appium.

According to the official steps, we will install node. JS first. node. JS Official website: https://nodejs.org/

Select the appropriate version to download according to your operating system. Here I installed Windows x86, I opened the official website when I found that there are two versions, the left is most people use the version, the right is the latest version. I chose to install the version that most people use to download (The red box is selected).

Download complete, double-click to install, such as.

When the installation is complete, open the Windows command prompt, and enter the "NPM" command.

If such information appears, it indicates that node. JS installation succeeded.

NPM is a node package management and distribution tool that has become an unofficial standard for publishing node modules (packages). With NPM, you can quickly find the packages you want to use for a particular service, download, install, and manage the packages you have installed.

Want to install Appium through NPM can refer to the bug Master's tutorial, I this lazy people think with NPM installation is really troublesome, directly to the official website to download the installation package to install.

Go to appium official website to download the corresponding Appium version of the operating system: https://bitbucket.org/appium/appium.app/downloads/

Currently the latest version is appiumforwindows_1_4_0_0.zip, note that this is a Windows version and if your PC is for Mac please download appium-1.3.7.dmg. Although you have seen these downloads, I do not guarantee that you can download them down. The reason you understand!

So, to provide a link to download the Baidu network disk: Http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jGvAISu

Let's take windows as an example and unzip the downloaded Appiumforwindows_1_4_0_0.zip as follows:

Double-click "Appium-installer.exe" to install. According to the prompt, step by step installation, here no longer verbose, currently does not support Chinese, the default language download on the line.

Eventually generate the Appium icon on the desktop, click Open if you have a problem according to the prompt to download the necessary things on the Internet, I downloaded after the open can be started, such as.

The Appium-server is ready to open. As for the use of appium we put it in the later chapters to introduce.

Finally, open the Windows command prompt, enter the "appium-doctor" command, and if you get the following prompt, the environment you appium is ready to complete.

Note: If you are prompted: "Appium-doctor" is not an internal or external command, locate the Appium installation directory and the bin directory, for example:

C:\Program Files (x86) \appium

C:\Program files\appium\node_modules\.bin\

Add each to the environment variable path below (if not, refer to the Java JDK Environment configuration in the next chapter).
