If protractor installation fails with an error, perform follwoing steps instead of above steps

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/node_modules
npm install protractor -g
sudo webdriver-manager update

Setup Headless Chrome browser

echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxpm4 libxrender1 libgtk2.0-0 libnss3 libgconf-2-4

sudo apt-get install imagemagick x11-apps
Xvfb -ac :99 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &
disown $1
export DISPLAY=:99

@clpalmer - great tip!

Just to add to @clpalmer:
It's more likely to use the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder. The resulting command is

echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chrome.list

Can somebody explain to me the entire process step by step including the shell command needs to be added in the Jenkins while creating the build to run the protractor test?
