I am trying to install appium using npm command.

Every attempt I am getting errors.

In the last attempt I refer below link:

node-gyp build error windows x64

So to install appium in my windows 10 64 bit machine, I followed below steps:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

npm config set msvs_version 2013 --global

npm install -g node-gyp-install

npm install appium

Getting Error as below:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\node_modules\appium\node_modules\heapdump>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild ) else (node "" rebuild ) gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: C:\WINDOWS\system32\node_modules\appium\node_modules\heapdump) while trying to load binding.gyp gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: gyp failed with exit code: 1 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onCpExit (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:305:16) gyp ERR! stack at emitTwo (events.js:106:13) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:191:7) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:215:12) gyp ERR!

The only problem with appium is with it's complex configuration.

If any one have working steps to install appium in windows then please share. It will really help

Any suggestion will be appreciated

  • Do you have Python 2 installed? `node-gyp` requires it. I [had similar problems](http://www.uselesscode.org/blog/posts/converting-the-uselesscode-org-blog-to-a-static-site/#difficulties-in-the-process) a while back when I upgraded npm. Also, you said that you installed `node-gyp-install`, have you installed `node-gyp` as well? – Useless Code Nov 30 '17 at 13:37
  • Yes I have python 2.7.9 installed in my system. while using "npm install --global --production windows-build-tools " it again install it – Shubham Jain Nov 30 '17 at 13:41

I was missed global tag for appium installation 

npm install -g appium

so install in below steps:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

npm config set msvs_version 2013 --global

npm install -g node-gyp-install

npm install -g node-gyp

npm install -g appium
