Which task can I add in CI pipeline on Azure DevOps to install Appium driver and Appium Plugin?

Question

I am using Azure DevOps for a task related to Automation Testing. I need help with resolving these two errors that I am facing: 1- [warning]Failed to read /home/vsts/work/1/s/src/test/resources/features/matas/app/homescreen/InStoreModeScreen.feature. Error : Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1..

2- Caused by: net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError: Could not instantiate new WebDriver instance of type class io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver (Connection refused (Connection refused)I need to understand which task can I add in CI on Azure DevOps to install Appium driver and Appium plugin to resolve Appium related errors as shown below

I used following tasks in CI on Azure DevOps:

Also confirm, whether I can use normal CLI task in CI Pipeline to run following commands to install Appium driver:

1. npm i --location=global appium
2. appium
3. appium driver install xcuitest

What I want to achieve? I am expecting that pipeline automatically performs steps mentioned in all those files that end with .features extension in repository as shown below:

Right now, tests are not being executed even when pipeline runs successfully as shown below:
