07:32 Step 1 - Check if Node.js is installed and setup node -v npm -v

08:43 Step 2 - If not, download & install Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/download/

14:05 Step 3 - Check if appium is available on the system appium --version or appium -v

15:18 Step 4 - Install Appium via NPM npm install -g appium@latest
Installing Appium 2.0 only installs the Appium server, but not the drivers since all drivers have been isolated from the Appium server app
We will Install the Appium UiAutomator2 Driver for Android and Appium XCUITest Driver for iOS separately

22:43 Step 5 - Verify appium is available on the system appium -v which appium where appium

23:56 Step 6 - Run command appium to get information on our installed appium (CTRL + C to quit)

26:12 Step 7 - Install appium-doctor (optional) npm install -g appium-doctor
Appium Doctor is a handy tool from Appium team that serves as a pre-flight check for Appium test environment
Attempts to diagnose and fix common Node, iOS and Android configuration issues appium-doctor -h

29:37 Step 8 - Check and install required appium drivers as per the our testing needs
Run command to see available drivers appium driver list (works on appium 2.0 or later)
appium plugin list
Install Appium driver Android: appium driver install uiautomator2
iOS: appium driver install xcuitest
Check: appium driver list
Update: appium driver list --updates

32:02 Step 9 : Run appium server appium
appium --allow-cors
Press Ctrl+C to stop appium server

--allow-cors: This is a flag that tells the Appium server to enable CORS - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) enabled
You might need to use this command if you're using a testing framework that runs on a different domain than the Appium server.
For example, if you're using the Appium Inspector to record and edit test scripts, you'll need to start the Appium server with CORS enabled if the Inspector is running on a different domain
This works on Appium 2.x versions
