to 4728) of the appium server (may be when you have multiple servers for multiple devices) you can use following: os.system("start /B start cmd.exe /k appium -a 127.0.0.1 -p 4728") Os.system("start /B start cmd.exe /k appium")

Now to answer your main question, below is what i used in my Python script to start the appium server on a new window so that it runs separately from the rest of the script execution: import os

In my case it was not with the installation of Appium desktop version.

First of all its good to check manually if "appium" command on shell launches the appium server or not(Seems in your case its working fine).
