Unable to install Appium on Ubuntu 12.04

[Benjamin Glatzeder]

Hi,

I'm very, very new to Linux and unable to install Appium on Ubuntu. I followed the instruction found on Appium.io. Node.js and npm is installed. Running this command, sudo npm install -g appium, yields an error. The version of Node.js is 0.6.12 and npm's version is 1.1.4. Below is the error seen in the terminal. And the extended npm error log is attached, too. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Try updating your Nodejs version (I'm running v0.10.26). Then do npm install -g grunt-cli and try installing appium after that. Problem seems to be that you don't have grunt-cli installed at all in your system.

To update Nodejs on Ubuntu, from the terminal, do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Appium requires node 0.10 or higher. Node 0.6 is quite old.

Also, don't install with sudo!

Updating nodejs did the trick. Thanks to both of you!
