Appium: Couldn't start the appium server in Windows

I was having 2 version of Appium. One was installed on Windows/Program Files and Other version was .zip extract.

I was not able to start the Appium server and got below error -

error: Couldn't start Appium REST http interface listener. Requested port is already in use. Please make sure there's no other instance of Appium running already.
Solution

  • Start the Windows Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+alt+Del. Under Processes tab kill the 'node.exe' process. Try to start the Appium server again
