  2. Type 0.0.0.0 in Remote Host.

  3. Type 4723 in Remote Port.

  4. Type '/wd/hub' in Remote Path.

  5. Configure your "Desired Capabilities": There are tons of options but you only need this to start.

     {
       "platformName": "Android",
       "appium:platformVersion": "12",
       "appium:deviceName": "Android Emulator",
       "appium:app": "{PATH TO APK OR IPA FILE}",
       "appium:automationName": "UiAutomator2" // Default option
     }

     Read more about desired capabilities here.

     

You're almost done, at this point you just need to run Appium Desktop by clicking the "startServer" button and then go to the Appium Inspector application and click the "Start session" button. Now that your session has started you will see your application at the left and elements TREE at the right. Click an element to see the selectors to use in your tests.
