LovetekiMac:/ love$ error: Appium will not work if used or installed with sudo. Please rerun/install as a non-root user. If you had to install Appium using sudo npm install -g appium, the solution is to reinstall Node using a method (Homebrew, for example) that doesn't require sudo to install global npm packages.
Appium will not work if used or installed with sudo。不让你提到 root 权限，你还特意提到 root...........
你當初在安裝時如果下的是 sudo npm -g appium 會有問題
要先手動把原本的 appium 清除掉重新用 npm -g appium 安裝
安裝時如果出錯跟你說要用 root 安裝的話 參考這裡: http://testerhome.com/topics/1146
非常感谢，经过尝试 成功启动了
先卸载了 appium
sudo npm uninstall -g appium
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm update -g
npm install -g appium
