System Requirements
Since the Inspector has two versions, a desktop app and a web app, the requirements for these will differ.
- Web app
- Works in Chrome/Edge/Firefox, released in 2022 or later (Safari is not supported)
- Viewport size of at least 870 x 610 pixels is recommended
- Desktop app
- Works on Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, openSUSE 15.5+, or Fedora Linux 39+
- These requirements are taken from Chrome, as the Inspector is built using Electron (which uses Chromium)
- Up to around 600MB of free space is required
- The minimum application window size is 890 x 710 pixels
- Works on Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, openSUSE 15.5+, or Fedora Linux 39+
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.
