The flow was:

installed appium 1.5.3.dmg
Installed node : 'brew install node' ,
then 'brew update node', and 'brew doctor node' brew command (ALL PASSED)
uninstalled appium 1.5.3 server: sudo npm uninstall -g appium

Then tried to install the beta versions :

sudo npm install appium@1.6.0-beta1

After that I performed the appium -v command : No appium was installed

My log from trying to install the appium beta versions:

Asis-Mac-mini:~ asihizkiahu$ sudo npm install appium@1.6.0-beta1

Hey...

Why the issue is closed?
Do you have an estimation when the 1.6.0.dmg will be released?

Aleksei 2016-10-07 09:11:04 UTC #4

dmg will come after official release of 1.6.0. i stopped using dmg as far as it is updating much much later. i use "driver.getPageSource()"

asi 2016-10-07 11:06:43 UTC #5

Hey Alexy...

Thanks for the answers..

I didn't really understood them......
First, why the issue of the memory leak was closed? i cant install the beta versions because of them...
Second, do you have an rough estimation when the official 1.6 release for mac will be released?

Thanks again...

Aleksei 2016-10-07 11:39:42 UTC #6

First, why the issue of the memory leak was closed? - this is not Appium problem NPM installer. just try to update it on mac.
Second about DMG - no idea

Thanks for the information.....

The memory leak problem is not with Appium. I recommend keeping your version of npm and Node.js up-to-date if you want to get bug fixes for those issues.

Appium wasn't found because you're installing Appium locally. You need to use the -g flag during installation to install Appium to a system PATH.

Hey Alex...
Thanks for the valueble inputs...
From your documentation I was under the impression that the -g command was
only for the uninstall command, not the install one...
I will try it...

asi 2016-10-11 05:56:51 UTC #10

The -g addition in the install command did the job...

Asis-Mac-mini:~ asihizkiahu$ appium -v
1.6.0-beta3

The problem is that the appium client remained in version 1.5.3
What does it mean?

The GUI version of Appium is updated separately. It has a separate installation of the Node.js interpreter and Appium npm packages bundled with it.
