Hi I’m trying to setup Katalon Studio Free on my Mac to test an android app but I have the following error when I try to start the mobile recorder.

When I run Appium in terminal, it is running as below

[Appium] Welcome to Appium v2.11.3 (REV deac4e0932eb3031656cdcbe12f0a7be2cacb69f)

Any ideas how to fix this?
