I wish there were more clear step by step tutorials online for Appium. Just copy and paste commands into Terminal on your Mac and you will set it up.
Below is the step by step instruction on how to set up Appium on Mac OS and run a first test from within a Java Class. Trying to search online for solution took me quite a while since there are almost no tutorials exist online for Appium to run on MAC while developing tests using JAVA. After installing it all with SUDO, then trying to run Appium, I was getting error that Appium and NODE should have been installed without SUDO. I could not find a way to install required components for Appium without using SUDO. Problem I was facing with Appium that I decided myself below.
