Do not install nodejs through apt-get, which will need sudo rights and appium will not work if node is installed as sudo user. If you have already installed remove it using

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm

Download latest nodejs linux binaries form http://nodejs.org/download/

Extract into a folder that doesn't need sudo rights to access, for example your home folder.

tar -xvf 

Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file.

export PATH=$PATH:/bin

Open a now terminal and do

npm install -g appium
appium
