Setup Command-Line Usage
The setup command aims to simplify the initial procedure of setting up Appium. It allows to install
multiple extensions (drivers/plugins) in one go, without the need to run
appium <ext-name> install <ext-name> multiple times.
The command has several presets that can be used to install different sets of extensions. The presets are as follows:
| Preset | Installation Command | Included Drivers | Included Plugins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile | appium setup mobile or appium setup |
uiautomator2, xcuitest1, espresso |
images |
| Desktop application | appium setup desktop |
mac21, windows2 |
images |
| Desktop browser | appium setup browser |
safari1, gecko, chromium |
images |
Attempting to install a preset while already having one or more of its included extensions installed will only install the missing extensions.
Refer to the Ecosystem documentation to learn more about the extensions listed above.
