I have had similar issues upgrading to a higher version of appium.

This has worked for me whenever I have problem with appium

npm uninstall -g appium
npm cache clean --force

Then do,

npm install -g [email protected]

or 

npm install -g appium

To get the latest version of appium

If you have an old version of Appium server than you can update it without uninstalling it by executing following command in terminal or command prompt

npm -g update appium

This will update your Appium version to the latest version.

In case you want to update to a specific version than execute the following command:

npm update -g [email protected]

try 

npm install appium -g

you should get the latest stable version.

But if you are looking to install a specific beta, use following command from terminal:

npm install -g [email protected]

There are two different types of appium tool avaliable

  1. Appium GUI
  2. Appium command tool

It seems you updated to the command tool of appium and launch the appium GUI then you are checking the version.

Till now there is no GUI for appium1.6.

If you are checking command tool then there is some issue, you need to uninstall and install appium.

This worked for me:

npm install appium -g

It by default installed the latest.

Try out without -g, it should work without it. Also your version is wrong, use that one:

npm -install [email protected]
