Yeah the execution problem is related to the postinstall script in package.json

I'm on Windows 10.
Changing postinstall to:
"postinstall": "npm run webdriver-update && bash ./scripts/protractor.sh"

fixed the issue for me

I am also on Windows 10 and I tried using the solution proposed by @cnrudd and I got the following:

./scripts/protractor.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found
: No such file or directoryne 3: cd: ./node_modules/protractor/node_modules
./scripts/protractor.sh: line 4: $'\r': command not found
./scripts/protractor.sh: line 10: syntax error: unexpected end of file

and found the solution to that here:
