appuim installation with node js

Question

how to solve this problem?

verbose node v10.14.2

verbose npm  v6.4.1

error code ELIFECYCLE

error errno 1

error appium-chromedriver@4.10.0 install: `node install-npm.js`

error Exit status 1

error Failed at the appium-chromedriver@4.10.0 install script.

error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

verbose exit [ 1, true ]

@dear binayak I did all the steps in this document, but I repeatedly see this error. — Melika, Dec 15 '18 at 10:45
Can you please mention how did you get the error? What were you trying to do? Are you trying to install something? — Suban Dhyako, Dec 17 '18 at 05:44
Also can you tell which command did you execute to install appium? — Suban Dhyako, Dec 17 '18 at 06:47
@ suban i try to install appium with "npm install -g appium" in powershell — Melika, Dec 18 '18 at 08:05
Try using node 8+ instead of 10+. It works for me and hopefully will work for you as well. — Wasiq Bhamla, Dec 20 '18 at 06:13

The last resort which I did worked. Formatted the entire mac machine. — Emjey, Dec 21 '18 at 09:41

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

You should never install appium via sudo as you may face issues with service programmatic start. – dmle Jan 05 '19 at 12:14

First of all, I would highly recommend using a node version manager for Node/npm installation.

Appium installation works perfectly with node version 10.1.0:

nvm install 10.1.0 //in new shell nvm use node npm install -g appium

Update: I think you are facing a similar issue, caused by Windows firewall or some proxy.

What you need to do is set the --chromedriver_cdnurl flag during npm install to the server which is accessible within your firewall:

npm install -g appium --chromedriver_cdnurl=http://localhost:1234

Maybe even better to setup npm proxy following instructions
