Answer 1

You can do this using Appium Support Library :

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.genium-framework</groupId>
  <artifactId>Appium-Support</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.5</version>
</dependency>

You can start the server in your code by doing this:

ServerArguments serverArguments = new ServerArguments();
serverArguments.setArgument("--address", "127.0.0.1");
serverArguments.setArgument("--chromedriver-port", 9516);
serverArguments.setArgument("--bootstrap-port", 4725);
serverArguments.setArgument("--no-reset", true);
serverArguments.setArgument("--local-timezone", true);

_appiumServer = new AppiumServer(serverArguments);

_appiumServer.startServer();

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

1. Follow the steps for installing the Node and npm here .

2. Type npm install -g appium@1.3.7 #for specific version npm install -g appium # for the latest version

3. In case of windows machine Make sure to include the path where you have installed the Appium in your System Environment variable (mine is C:\\Users\\XXX\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\appium)

After that open a new instance of CMD and launch the appium server with typing "appium" or with the parameters you like.

PS It works on OSX, Windows and Linux.

Please install Node.js from http://nodejs.org/download/

Then Clone appium from GitHub or Download appium for windows (that you are currently having)

对于正在寻找简单模块解决方案的任何人，我都创建了appium-controller ，可通过编程方式（mac或Windows）在后台启动和停止appium。
