Add to your nemo plugins. Be sure to send the path to your appium executable. Be sure to register it as a "pre-driver" plugin (see: https://github.com/paypal/nemo#plugins):

"appium": {
      "module": "nemo-appium",
      "priority": 99,
      "arguments": ["/Users/medelman/.nvm/current/bin/appium"]
    }

If you don't have appium running, the plugin will start the appium server.

The plugin adds nemo.appium.process and nemo.appium.kill.

nemo.appium.process is a reference to the ChildProcess object started for appium.

nemo.appium.kill is a function which wraps ChildProcess#kill for the appium process.

In order to see log/debug messages, set DEBUG=nemo-appium* into your shell environment.

Consider using this along with nemo-wd-bridge: https://github.com/paypal/nemo-wd-bridge
