I faced next errors while make a preparation for installing Appium on my OS X machine. Unfortunately I installed it first with root-access by mistake but remove it 

nb-user:npm user$ brew install node
Warning: node-0.12.0_1 already installed


npm install -g appium  # get appium

in results

 nb-user:~ user$ npm install -g appium

appium not works under root :(

how can I completely remove node and appium(root and local user) in order to install it again without any errors ?

  • Do a `npm update -g` and try again if it dint wornk do this, You can probably try deleting the node and appium folders inside AppData http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/28928/what-is-the-osx-equivalent-to-windows-appdata-folder , i work on win8 so use that link – Sandeep kumar H R Mar 23 '15 at 10:30

Uninstall Everything, First install brew, then install npm from brew and then install appium from node. i followed this in linux, it will help in mac too
