My bad. I misinterpret the read me instructions and thought that appium --plugins=appium-dashboard is only loading plugin. But it does both (starting the appium server and loading the plugin).

Maybe you can make it more explicit it in the readme file? Reading now, its clear it is doing both but on first look, someone might misinterpret it as I did and also may try to start appium server apart from running this (which ofcourse will give this error).
