System setup for Android
- [Instructor] In order for Appium to automate Android mobile apps, we need to make sure our computer is setup with a couple different Android-related development requirements. First and foremost, we'll need the Java Development Kit or JDK to support compiling Appium's Android automation code. You may already have Java installed on your computer, to check and see, let's open up a terminal and run a quick command. I'm going to run a command that will tell me the location of Java's home directory on my system, if it exists, so I'm going to type /usr/libexec/java_home. Note that this command will work on Mac systems, which I'm running and which is the focus of this course due to our need to demonstrate iOS testing. For finding Java's home path on Windows or Linux, please refer to the Java documentation. So, you can see that this command returned a path which I will need later on during Appium setup, if you don't get this kind of result, then you need to install Java or use another method…
