The desktop version of appium provides a way to visually operate the main functions of appium, which is very suitable for beginners.
How to install the appium desktop version on the windows platform is roughly divided into two steps, which are dependent software installation and appium desktop version installation. The following is a description of the dismantling text and pictures of these two steps.
01 Rely on software installation
The dependent software is the following 4 items: JDK, SDK, node and emulator.
1、JDK
At present, jdk1.8 is generally used. After downloading jdk1.8, the next step along the way can complete the installation.
You can refer to the screenshot to configure the JDK environment variables .
Test whether the jdk environment variable configuration is correct.
As shown in the screenshot below, the version number information can be queried, which proves that the environment variable configuration is correct.
2、SDK
Unzip the SDK package to complete the installation.
You can refer to the screenshot to configure the SDK environment variables.
Test whether the SDK environment variable configuration is correct.
Check the adb version number under %ANDROID_HOME%\platformtools to prove whether the SDK environment variable configuration is correct.
As shown in the screenshot below, the version number information can be queried, which proves that the environment variable configuration is correct.
Note: The following is my adb local disk path.
3.node
Double-click node-v12.13.1-x64.msi, and then follow the next step to complete the node installation according to the guide.
After the installation is complete, the environment variables are usually automatically configured.
Then, test whether the node environment variable configuration is correct.
The version of node and npm is required to be higher than 4. If an error is reported, it is generally a problem with the environment configuration, and the environment variable PATH needs to be manually set.
Before setting the PATH environment variable, you need to find the local installation path of node. The screenshot below shows my own local installation path of node.
Modify or increase the installation path of node in the PATH environment variable.
4. Simulator
The official website address of the MuMu simulator is as follows, http://mumu.163.com/ Then double-click to download the mumu installer (exe extension), and follow the guidance to complete the installation of the mumu simulator.
Find the port number for adb to connect to the mumu emulator through the configuration file with the extension nemu as follows.
02 appium desktop version installation
The operation steps of the appium desktop version under the windows platform are divided into download and installation.
1. Download
Official website address to download appium, the address is as follows: http://navo.top/6RZjim
