System Requirements

Since the Inspector has two versions, a desktop app and a web app, the requirements for these will differ.

• The web app supports Chrome and Firefox browsers (Safari is not supported)
  • Viewport size of at least 870 x 610 pixels is recommended
• The desktop app requires up to around 600MB of space on the computer
  • The minimum application window size is 890 x 710 pixels

Both Inspector versions also require an Appium server to connect to, which is not bundled with the Inspector. This server can be run either locally or remotely. If you need to install it, please check the Appium Install documentation for details.

Note

If using a standalone Appium server, make sure the server also has the necessary driver(s) for your target platform(s)!

While the Inspector is designed to work with Appium 2, it is also compatible with later versions of Appium 1. Please be aware of the differences between both Appium versions - in particular, the default server base path.
