 Appium is an open-source, cross-platform test automation tool for native,
-hybrid, and mobile web and desktop apps. We support simulators (iOS), emulators
-(Android), and real devices (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac).
+hybrid, mobile web and desktop apps. Initially created to automate iOS and Android mobile
+applications Appium has grown to a full-featured platform that provides [WebDriver](https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/)-based automation possibilities for the whole set of different mobile and desktop platforms.
+See [Drivers Maintained By The Appium Team](#drivers-maintained-by-the-appium-team)
+and [Drivers Provided By Third Parties](#drivers-provided-by-third-parties) sections below for more details.
+
+:bangbang: Major documentation revision in progress
+
+:bangbang: Appium core team does not maintain Appium 1.x anymore since the 1st of January 2022. All recent versions of officially supported platform drivers are not compatible to Appium 1.x anymore, and require Appium 2 to run. [Please read the migration guide from 1.x to 2.0](https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/packages/appium/docs/en/guides/migrating-1-to-2.md) to manage the Appium server.
+
+Appium is in the final stages of a major revision (to version 2.0). As such, the documentation
+found around the web may not be correct. The current Appium 2.0 documentation is very much in
+progress. Currently, it can be found [here](https://appium.github.io/appium/docs/en/2.0/).
+
+### Requirements
+
+- macOS, Linux or Windows operating system
+- Node.js 14+
+- NPM (Node Package Manager) 8+
+
+These are only server requirements. Each driver might have its own requirements. Consider checking the corresponding driver tutorial for more details.

-started](/docs/en/about-appium/getting-started.md) doc.
+### Server
 
-### Supported Platforms
+To install Appium 2 server using Node Package Manager (npm) run the following command:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g appium@next
+```
+
+:bangbang: Running `npm install -g appium` would still install Appium 1 because version 2 is in its late beta stage.
+
+### Drivers
 
 Appium supports app automation across a variety of platforms, like iOS,
 Android, and Windows. Each platform is supported by one or more "drivers",
-which know how to automate that particular platform. Choose a driver below for
-specific information about how that driver works and how to set it up:
-
-* iOS
-    * The [XCUITest Driver](/docs/en/drivers/ios-xcuitest.md)
-    * (DEPRECATED) The [UIAutomation Driver](/docs/en/drivers/ios-uiautomation.md)
-* Android
-    * The [Espresso Driver](/docs/en/drivers/android-espresso.md)
-    * The [UiAutomator2 Driver](/docs/en/drivers/android-uiautomator2.md)
-    * (DEPRECATED) The [UiAutomator Driver](/docs/en/drivers/android-uiautomator.md)
-* The [Windows Driver](/docs/en/drivers/windows.md) (for Windows Desktop apps)
-* The [Mac Driver](/docs/en/drivers/mac.md) (for Mac Desktop apps)
+which know how to automate that particular platform. Since version 2.0
+all drivers have been isolated from the Appium server app and can
+be managed independently using the [appium driver](https://appiumpro.com/editions/122-installing-appium-20-and-the-driver-and-plugins-cli) command line interface.
+
+In general, the drivers management in Appium 2 is as simple as:
+
+```bash
+# To install a new driver from npm
+appium driver install --source=npm appium-xcuitest-driver[@<version>]
+# To install a driver from a local folder (useful for developers)
+appium driver install --source=local /Users/me/sources/appium-xcuitest-driver
+# To install a new driver from github (hm, maybe it's time to publish it to NPM?)
+appium driver install --source=github appium/appium-xcuitest-driver
+
+# To list already installed drivers
+appium driver list --installed
+
+# To update a driver (it must be already installed)
+appium driver update xcuitest
+
+# To uninstall a driver (it won't last forever, wouldn't it?)
+appium driver uninstall xcuitest
+```
+
+You can find a full list of
+[officially-supported](https://appium.github.io/appium/docs/en/latest/ecosystem/#drivers) and
+[third-party](https://appium.github.io/appium/docs/en/latest/ecosystem/#other-drivers) drivers at
+the current Appium 2.0 documentation.
+
+### Plugins
+
+The concept of plugins is something new that has been added exclusively to Appium2. Plugins allow you to extend server functionality without changing the server code. Plugins could be managed similarly to drivers:
+
+```bash
+# To install an officially supported plugin
+appium plugin install images
+# To install a plugin from a local folder (useful for developers)
+appium plugin install --source=local /Users/me/sources/images
+# To install a new plugin from npm
+appium plugin install --source=npm appium-device-farm
+
+# To list already installed plugins
+appium plugin list --installed
+
+# To update a plugins (it must be already installed)
+appium plugin update appium-device-farm
+
+# To uninstall a plugin
+appium plugin uninstall appium-device-farm
+```
+
+The main difference between drivers and plugins is that the latter must be explicitly enabled on server startup after it was installed (drivers are enabled by default after installation):
+
+```bash
+appium server --use-plugins=device-farm,images
+```
+
+You can find a full list of
+[officially-supported](https://appium.github.io/appium/docs/en/latest/ecosystem/#plugins) and
+[third-party](https://appium.github.io/appium/docs/en/latest/ecosystem/#other-plugins) plugins at
+the current Appium 2.0 documentation.
+
+
+### Server Command Line Interface
+
+In order to start sending commands to Appium over the wire it must be listening
+on the URL where your client library expects it to listen.
+Use the following commands to run and configure Appium server:
+
+```bash
+# Start the server on the default port and host (e.g. http://0.0.0.0:4723/)
+appium server
+# Start the server on the given port, host and use the base path prefix (the default prefix is /)
+appium server -p 9000 -a 127.0.0.1 -pa /wd/hub
+
+# Get the list of all supported command line parameters.
+# This list would also include descriptions of driver-specific
+# command line arguments for all installed drivers.
+# Each driver and plugin must have their command line arguments
+# exposed in a special JSON schema declared as a part of the corresponding
+# package.json file.
+appium server --help
+```
+
+Appium supports execution of parallel server processes as well as parallel driver sessions within
+single server process. Refer the corresponding driver documentations regarding which mode is optimal
+for the particular driver or whether it supports parallel sessions.
