In this post we will discuss about installing Appium in Windows Environment.

Appium Installation Prerequisite

Before installing Appium, we need to have following pre-requisite software’s to be installed.

You can learn installing Java and Android SDK from ‘Android Automation with Robotium’ video playlist from Execute Automation Part 4 – Installing Android SDK and getting ready for app development (Series)

Appium installation is pretty straight forward, since the EXE will does all the magics for you like
  • Installing node.js
  • Installing Appium Server etc

Appium client required jars (JAVA)

As we will be writing client code in java for Appium in eclipse, we need following JARs to be downloaded as well
  1. Selenium Server and Client API from (http://seleniumhq.org)
  2. Appium Java Client
  3. Gson (Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object)
