Get errors on installation of protractor


I am trying to install protractor, following this guide:

    https://angular.github.io/protractor/#/

On ubuntu in a shell, I typed: sudo npm install -g protractor

There is a whole bunch of info telling if the installation of some specific packages went good or not. Here I am getting some error on some packages. I have added the errors, and not added the ones that went well. Anyone has any idea on how to fix this problem.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Solution

  • On Ubuntu, the Node command is actually 'nodejs' whereas the Protractor installer is looking for 'node'.

    Try running this:

    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
    

    And then re-running the Protractor installation

    sudo npm install -g protractor
