Install appium on Linux 18.04

If you have node.js installed you can try :

sudo npm install -g appium --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

it worked for me.

I guess all the information you need to run Appium in Linux is in this here:

http://appium.io/docs/en/about-appium/getting-started/

how to run your test

http://appium.io/slate/en/master/?ruby#running-tests

and a bunch of sample code here

https://github.com/appium/sample-code

and if you want to run your test in Chrome Browser you will need Chromedriver, it's already integrated in the appium project. More info here:

Install Appium on Linux(Fedora 22)

$ sudo dnf update -y
$ sudo dnf groupinstall -y "Development Tools"
$ sudo dnf install -y autoconf automake libtool gettext git scons cmake flex bison libcurl-devel curl ncurses-devel ruby bzip2-devel expat-devel
$ git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew.git ~/.linuxbrew

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$LINUXBREWHOME/lib64/pkgconfig:$LINUXBREWHOME/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LINUXBREWHOME/lib64:$LINUXBREWHOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH


$ ln -s $(which gcc) ~/.linuxbrew/bin/gcc-4.4
$ ln -s $(which g++) ~/.linuxbrew/bin/g++-4.4
$ brew update

$ brew install node      # get node.js
$ npm install -g appium  # get appium
