Hi,

Can you please help copy the error log and send us? I guess this is due to Appium version problem. Which Katalon version are you using and can you please update it?

@chialun15  
Currently, Katalon Studio supports Appium v1 only, you can install Appium v1 instead.  
In case you still want to use Appium v2, you can try v8.5.4.beta: [Release v8.5.4.beta3 · katalon-studio/katalon-studio · GitHub](https://github.com/katalon-studio/katalon-studio/releases/tag/v8.5.4.beta3)

Hi @duyluong , I did try  
Node.js 18  
Appium v1.22.3  
Katalon studio version 8.5.4.beta3  
But seems like Appium v1 can not be installed appium driver  
And according tutorial need to use appium driver

Node.js 18  
Appium v2.0.0  
Katalon studio version 8.5.4.beta3  
And I got same error
