I used this command to install Appium on my machine:

npm install -g appium

& I got this error:

npm ERR! Error: EACCES, unlink '/usr/lib/node_modules/appium'
npm ERR!  { [Error: EACCES, unlink '/usr/lib/node_modules/appium']
npm ERR!   errno: 3,

  • Thank you for sharing. But when i tried this "brew update" I got this "No command 'brew' found" . I searched the Ubuntu forums but did not get exact solution for brew command. – Ajit Apr 09 '15 at 06:37
