I´m installing appium using these terminal commands:
sudo npm install -g appium
npm install wd
the installation process never ends and the error is :
Error trying to install Chromedriver binary. Waiting and trying again. fn must be a function
i tried to install Chromedriver manually but i still have the same problem, i also tried to do this on a vagrant machine and i still have the same issue and i don't know how to solve this,
if anyone has an answer it will be nice to share
thank you
Do not install nodejs through apt-get, which will need sudo rights and appium will not work if node is installed as sudo user. If you have already installed remove it using
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm
Download latest nodejs linux binaries form http://nodejs.org/download/
Extract into a folder that doesn't need sudo rights to access, for example your home folder.
tar -xvf
Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file.
export PATH=$PATH:<full_path_of_the_extracted_node_folder>/bin
Open a now terminal and do
npm install -g appium
appium
