What is the right setting for the Appium directory in Katalon Studio on a Mac?

Katalon Studio shows an error when starting the Mobile Recorder with having set the Appium directory to /Applications/Appium.app or /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/MacOS.

Unable to start application on this device: : Appium directory is invalid: Cannot find Appium executable file.

How do you fix this on a Mac?

Installing Appium from the command line via brew:

brew install appium

Then set in Katalon > Preferences > Mobile > Appium Directory:

/usr/local/Cellar/appium/1.21.0/libexec/lib/node_modules/appium

or something similar depended on version

You need to install Appium from the command line instead of downloading the Mac app.

npm install -g appium

After that, set the Appium Directory in Katalon Studio to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium
