Protractor test fails on windows 8.1

[nicofari]

Hi.
I am trying to follow the tutorial: protractor test fails with timeout.
This is the log:

19 error This is most likely a problem with the angular-phonecat package,

19 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
19 error     protractor test/protractor-conf.js
19 error You can get their info via:
19 error     npm owner ls angular-phonecat
19 error There is likely additional logging output above.
20 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

Things I have tried:

- put chromeOnly: false and browserName: 'firefox'
in protractor-conf.js

• tried

npm install -g protractor

but it keeps faililng

thanks for any help!
bye
