appium-setup

appium_env.sh is a Mac environment setup script that installs software needed to develop Appium acceptance tests in the language of your choice.

Prerequisites

• Xcode, along with Command Line Tools

If you want to develop Android tests, you also need:

• Android SDK
• Make sure JAVA_HOME is set (add export JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home" to your .bash_profile)
• Make sure ANDROID_HOME is set (add export ANDROID_HOME="/path/to/android/sdk" to your .bash_profile)
• Add /path/to/android/sdk, /path/to/android/sdk/tools, and /path/to/android/sdk/platform-tools to your /etc/paths file (might have to do this with sudo)
• Create an AVD (look into speeding up the emulator using VM acceleration for x86 AVDs) or use a real Android device to run tests on

Execute the script

Example usage:

./appium_env.sh [options]

Running the script with no options installs Appium software only (no language-specific software).

Options:

-h, --help   Prints usage.
-a, --all    Installs all software for all languages.
-f, --force  Ignores certains warnings to force continuation.
--no-source  Does not clone the appium source code.
--haskell    Installs Haskell software.
--ruby       Installs Ruby software.
--java       Installs Java software.
--obj-c      Installs Objective-C software.
--perl       Installs Perl software.
--php        Installs PHP software.
--python     Installs Python software.
