- In the WebStorm: Click on "Edit configurations" - the dropdown to the left of the "Run" button (green arrow like a "play" button)

- Click on the "Add button" (green +) to add a new Node configuration. Select "Node.js"

- Fill the params:

Node interpreter: Full path to Node.js (from step 1)

Working directory: home directory for the protractor tests.

Javascript file: Full path to `node_modules/protractor/lib/cli.js`
