Go to http://appium.io/ and download appium server. You have couple of option which appium to download
1. appium UI
2. appium nodeJs
I prefer nodeJs as I can launch it directly from code through command line terminal. However some times I use the UI version to inspect the elements. You can even launch the Inspector from terminal, hmm need to figure out and would be posting soon.
To work with appium on ease,I would recommend you to have your own MAC laptop with SDK 6. SDK 7 should also be fine but preferebly SDK 6 is recommended.
Setup.
1. Open up your mac terminal
