Protractor 0.16.1 e2e AngularJS - Starting selenium standalone server... events.js:72 Error: spawn ENOENT

Question

Attempted Project: https://github.com/yearofmoo/angularjs-seed-repo

Environment:

Windows 7 64-bit
NodeJS v 0.10.24
Protractor v 0.16.1
grunt v0.4.2
grunt-cli v0.1.11

Notes:

For selenium, install_selenium_standalone has been replaced by webdriver-manager binary around 12/2/13 according to [Julie's post][1]. This seems to be related to the issue.

Also, git must be installed in the project directory and npm install must be run using Git Bash in Windows.

Error in Git Bash:

Answer 1

Java is required to run selenium, so it seems You don't have any.
