C:\Users\Gideon>appium

'appium' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Solution

  • Thanks for valuable inputs!

    I am adding further solution.

    While installing

    npm install -g appium

    by default system variable is set to C:\Program Files\nodejs\ and this gives you error:

    'appium' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

    To resolve above error you need to give system variable is C:\Program Files\nodejs, so remove \ if you are using OS Windows10, otherwise give semicolon end of the syntax, like as follow: C:\Program Files\nodejs;

    Hope this solved the problem!
