使用sudo安装appium能够成功安装，但运行appium时，会遇到Appium will not work if used or installed with sudo的报错

 

是由于权限原因导致

解决办法如下：

1.改变node的所有者（给用户赋予相应的文件夹权限）：

 

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ 

 

 

 

2.卸载appium

 

npm uninstall appium -g

 

 

 

3.安装appium

 

npm install -g appium

 

 

 

4，然后启动appium，就会发现appium已经可以正常运行了：
