Manage appium dependencies with --appium-home in Appium 2.0
summary
Appium 2.0 stores drivers/plugins under ~/.appium by default and lets you relocate that entire dependency tree with --appium-home, copying installed driver packages and the extension.yaml metadata to the new path so Appium loads them from there. Install with `appium driver install <name>[@version] --appium-home <path>`, but binaries must match target OS architecture (mac vs linux). Start-up time drops if Appium is launched with --drivers or --plugins to load only specified modules.
