.dmg file is OS X package. You don`t need it.

According to this page on Appium`s official web site: http://appium.io/downloads.html Appium Desktop app is available only on Windows and OS platforms.

On Linux you need to install it as Node package.

  1. Appium won't run if node/npm are install as a privileged (sudo) user. So you`ll have to use another way to install them. You can use Linux version of Homebrew( https://github.com/Linuxbrew/linuxbrew ) or download node binaries ( https://nodejs.org/en/download/ ) and place them in your home folder.

  2. You may add an environmental variable for appium. To do it open ~/.bashrc file and add this string to the end:

export PATH=$PATH:/bin

And then reread that file:

source ~/.bashrc

  1. Install Appium: npm install -g appium

  2. Run appium: appium&

Elementary OS is very similar to Ubuntu. You may found a lot of information how to install Appium on Ubuntu. For example check this link: How to setup Appium in Ubuntu for android
