How to build an appium_mac Environment

 

 

 

 

Environment requirements:

Http://appium.io/on the statement:

IOS MacOSX 10.7 + XCode 4.5 + and Command Line Tools

 

Https://github.com/appium/appium statement:

Npm 0.8 or greater Mac OS X 10.7 or higher, 10.8.4 recommended XCode> = 4.6.3

 

 

Check:

It is found that the two websites have different opinions. For security first, get a higher version.

 

No? I will search for one for you:

Xcode 5.1 official website download: http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_5.1/xcode_5.1.dmg Baidu online storage: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1c0xnrly#/url]   Xcode5.0.2 official download: Http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_5.0.2/xcode_5.0.2.dmg Quick pass: Http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/qSU8CgLfEQBHiJRSe71   Command Line Tools (OS X Mavericks) for Xcode download: Http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/qSU8CgLmEQCriJRS2c6   Command Line Tools (OS X Mountain Lion) for Xcode download: Http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/qSU8CgLjEQB9iJRSa56   The above file Baidu Network Disk: [url] http://pan.baidu.com/s/1FypHd

 

I have obtained an Xcode5.0.2 file. After installation, continue to install Command Line Tools:

Okay, the environment is basically ready. Let's take a look at other people's posts:

1. Install node. js 2. Install appium $ Npm install-g appium@0.12.3 Note that appium is compatible with OS. 3. Start appium $ Appium & Test on a real machine. Specify the UUID of the device during startup. $ Appium-U xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Appium startup parameters: Https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/server-args.md 4. The app to be tested must be the Developer version.

 

Let's look at the official website statement:

Npm install-g appium Npm install wd Appium & Node your-appium-test.js

 

Wow, that's easy! It's not difficult to think about it.

 

Start:

You need to install a node first, but there is no brew on my machine, so you have to install brew first. brew is similar to apt-get In ubuntu, it is a management tool installed for you by using the software used for Internet search. Oh, this is a rough description and you can understand what I mean. ^ _ ^: first, I searched for a method:

Cd/usr/local Mkdir homebrew Cd homebrew Curl-LsSf http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | tar xvz-C/usr/local -- strip 1 Cd bin ./Brew-v File brew Sudo./brew update More brew

 

 

I did it myself. It is roughly this step and the installation was successful:

Admins-Mac: local admin $ cd bin Admins-Mac: bin admin $./brew-v Homebrew 0.9.5 Admins-Mac: bin admin $ file brew Brew: POSIX shell script text executable   Cd Vi. bash_profile Export PATH =/usr/local/homebrew/bin: $ PATH

 

 

Close and re-open terminal so that. bash_profile is executed to make the PATH environment variable take effect. Of course you can also use source./. bash_profile

 

During the installation process, the only thing you need to pay attention to is the permission. My practice is to directly change the/usr/local directory to admin directory before all steps, you don't have to use sudo for every installation.

Sudo chown-Rf admin: staff/usr/local

 

 

Now it's easy to install node. js. One line of command:

Brew install node

 

Then let's see if node is installed correctly. First, vi hello_world.js and enter the following content (assuming you will use an editor like vi and vim)

Var sys = require ('sys '),   Http = require ('http ');   Http. createServer (function (req, res ){ SetTimeout (function (){ Res. writeHead (200, {'content-type': 'text/plain '}); Res. write ('Hello World '); Res. end (); // res. close () as of the latest version; Replace with res. end (); },2000 );   }). Listen (8000 );

 

Run the following command:

Node hello_world.js

 

 

In this case, the browser returns "Hello World.

Finally, check:

Node-v

V0.10.15

Npm-v

1.4.6

 

All right. This is the case:

Npm install-g appium Npm install wd

 

 

Run appium-doctor to check whether appium is completely OK:

Admins-Mac: bin admin $ pwd /Usr/local/bin Admins-Mac: bin admin $ ls-l Total 39064 Lrwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 40 Apr 14 :33 appium-> ../lib/node_modules/appium/bin/appium. js Lrwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 47 Apr 14 appium-doctor-> ../lib/node_modules/appium/bin/appium-doctor.js Lrwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 47 Apr 14 authorize_ios-> ../lib/node_modules/appium/bin/authorize-ios.js -Rwxrwxr-x 1 admin staff 813 Apr 14 08:53 brew -Rwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 19975968 Jul 26 2013 node Lrwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 38 Jul 31 2013 npm-> ../lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js Lrwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 33 Jul 31 2013 weinre-> ../lib/node_modules/weinre

Because there is no android Environment on this mac, I have no plans to test the android program on this mac. Appium is OK.

 

 

 

Start appium (& indicates execution in the background without occupying the window ):

Admins-Mac: appium admin $ appium & [1] 1886 Admins-Mac: appium admin $ info: Welcome to Appium v0.18.1 (REV d242ebcfd92046a9741_ccc3a28f0e898595198) Info: Appium REST http interface listener started on 0.0.0.0: 4723 Info: socket. io started Info: Non-default server args: {merciful: true}

 

Check the process and remove the background process:

Admins-Mac: appium admin $ ps-ef | grep appium 501 1886 1274 0 PM ttys000. 73 node/usr/local/bin/appium 501 1892 1274 0 PM ttys000. 00 grep appium Admins-Mac: appium admin $ kill 1886

 

 

Now, the environment is almost the same.
