背景
公司需求：测试期间，手动测试很难测出一些崩溃的bug，一旦上线后，就能检测到崩溃率直线上升，所以想用自动化测试来跑，在提测期间尽早尽量多的发现程序的崩溃。
选择Appium的原因
排前五的自动化测试中，Appium排第一，网址：https://bitbar.com/top-5-ios-testing-frameworks-with-examples/
安装环境
1、java
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)
2、git
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ git --version
git version 1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48)
3、ruby
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24 revision 45167) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]
4、brew
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ brew -v
Homebrew 0.9.5
这边提下brew的安装，brew是Mac OS不可或缺的套件管理器
执行下面命令:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
如图：
5、node
有了brew安装node就方便了
brew install node
如图
6、npm
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ npm -v
2.0.0-alpha-5
7、Appium
现在可以开始安装Appium
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ appium -v
1.2.0
8、wd
npm install wd
9、检查环境
Appium提供了一个doctor，运行appium-doctor
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ appium-doctor
Running iOS Checks
✔ Xcode is installed at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
✖ Xcode Command Line Tools are NOT installed: Error: Command failed: No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables' found at '/'.
Fix it? (y/n) y
Press any key to continue:
✔ Xcode Command Line Tools are installed.
✔ DevToolsSecurity is enabled.
✔ The Authorization DB is set up properly.
✔ Node binary found at /usr/local/bin/node
✔ iOS Checks were successful.
Running Android Checks
✖ ANDROID_HOME is set but does not exist on the file system at "Users/ajiao/Documents/adt-bundle_mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk"
Appium-Doctor detected problems. Please fix and rerun Appium-Doctor.
这里可以看到我Xcode Command Line Tools没有安装，这个方便，Fix it?的时候输入Y，就能自动导向安装了。
另一个是ANDROID_HOME的环境变量没配置好，那么我们要配置下。(只给ios测试的话，ANDROID_HOME不配置无所谓)
查看ios环境是否弄好了
/usr/local/bin/appium-doctor [options, defaults: --ios ]
10、bash_profile文件
Mac 默认是没有这个文件的，我们自己建一个
touch .bash_profile
vi .bash_profile
打开bash_profile文件配置ANDROID_HOME和JAVA_HOME
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/ajiao/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk"
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
source .bash_profile
好了，再次运行appium-doctor
ajiao-macbookair:~ ajiao$ appium-doctor
Running iOS Checks
✔ Xcode is installed at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
✔ Xcode Command Line Tools are installed.
✔ DevToolsSecurity is enabled.
✔ The Authorization DB is set up properly.
✔ Node binary found at /usr/local/bin/node
✔ iOS Checks were successful.
Running Android Checks
✔ ANDROID_HOME is set to "/Users/ajiao/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk"
✔ JAVA_HOME is set to "/usr/libexec/java_home."
✔ ADB exists at /Users/ajiao/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/platform-tools/adb
✔ Android exists at /Users/ajiao/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/tools/android
✔ Emulator exists at /Users/ajiao/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/tools/emulator
✔ Android Checks were successful.
✔ All Checks were successful
到此，环境基本准备好了。
最后，如果不想通过命令行安装Appium，也可以安装dmg
如图：
遇到的坑:
1.发现使用命令安装的Appium很难使用。
2.推荐运行Appium app的方式，除了GUI界面操作更直观以外，更重要的一个原因是，相比于命令行运行方式，Appium app多了一个Inspector模块，可以调用模拟器运行被测应用程序，并且可以很方便地在预览页面中查看UI元素的层级结构和详细控件属性，极大地提高编写测试脚本的效率。
3.下载了个Appium.dmg客户端，发现支持的版本太低了，没办法，最后找到的解决办法是下载appium-desktop，见地址：
https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.7
下载名为：appium-desktop-1.2.7-mac.zip的压缩文件
