You can check below startAppium() method.
I have used this command to install Appium (run npm install -g appium )

@BeforeSuite
public static void startAppium(){
System.out.println(“Trying to start Appium Server!”);
service = new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(new File("/usr/local/bin/node")).
withAppiumJS(new File("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js"));
service.build().start();
System.out.println(“Appium Server is at your service!”);
}

Well, those are pathes to node and node appium package.

You can find node location as I mentioned above by using a command
which node

For example of setup you can take a look at https://github.com/olyv/WortschatzAppium/blob/master/src/test/java/com/olyv/wortschatz/appium/BaseTest.java
