I found https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/9912 and I learned the npm‘s --production flag to reduce the module size.
Install without devDependencies
$ npm install --production
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install#description
With the –production flag (or when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production), npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies.
Remove devDependencies resources
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/prune
$ npm install $ cd node_modules/appium $ npm prune --production
