This worked for me too: “C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Appium\resources\app\node_modules\appium”

You are right. I get it.

In Mac Terminal

which appium

Results in: /usr/local/bin/appium

ls -l /usr/local/bin/appium

Results in: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 35 4 apr 12:52 /usr/local/bin/appium → …/lib/node_modules/appium/index.js

This gives the directory /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium

This directory can be used in the preferences/Katalon/Mobile/Appium directory.
