Unable to Install Appium in Ubuntu

[RYenike]

Do I have the most recent component updates?

• I use the most recent available driver/plugin and server versions

Is the component officially supported by the Appium team?

• I have verified the component repository is present under the Appium organization in GitHub

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

@RYenike I had the same issue with the snap store version of node.js

In the system logs I saw apparmor denying snap-confine every time npm i failed.

See: nodejs/snap#56

I'm pretty sure this is the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1849753

After I removed the snap version and installed the .deb packages from nodesource.com appium installed
