It is more usual for UNIX/LINUX-like OS's. Also there are situations when should be used an another Node.JS instance, e.g. the instance which is installed in the directory that differs from one defined at the PATH environmental variable. The same may be true for Appium node server (it is related to _appium.js_ file (v <= 1.4.16) and _main.js_ (v >= 1.5.0)).

At this case user is able to set up values of the **NODE_BINARY_PATH** (The environmental variable used to define the path to executable NodeJS file (node.exe for WIN and node for Linux/MacOS X)) and the **APPIUM_BINARY_PATH** (The environmental variable used to define the path to executable appium.js (1.4.x and lower) or main.js (1.5.x and higher)) environmental variables/system properties. Also it is possible to define these values programmatically:
