How can i change appium configuration when it is installed by npm?

Question

I'm using Appium version 1.5.1 in Mac OS. I want to change appium configuration when it is installed by npm command (npm install -g appium) not by the .dmg application. Is there a way to change it like changing the device name, command timeout, platform version ... ? Thanks.

Answer 1

Finally i change the default configuration for appium by this way :

appium --default-capabilities '{"app":"safari","browserName":"safari","appium-version":"1.5.1","platformName":"iOS","platformVersion":"9.3","deviceName":"iPad Air","nativeInstrumentsLib":true}' --command-timeout "0" --pre-launch --nodeconfig "/Users/me/nodeconfig.json" --launch-timeout "180000"
