ln -fs /Users/<your user name>/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js /usr/local/bin/appium
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/appium

This is surely gonna help!

Firstly, please ensure you have installed appium successfully, the installation print out should end with some thing like └── [email protected]

Secondly, make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH variable, check by

echo $PATH

If above were configured correctly but error still persisted, it's likely that appium script does not exist in your /usr/local/bin directory, try this:

ln -fs /Users/<your user name>/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js /usr/local/bin/appium
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/appium

This worked for me - 

brew install node # "or second line if npm is installed"
npm i -g npm
npm install -g appium
npm install wd
