Alternatively, you could run this as a Grunt Task. First install grunt on Jenkins. Install the NPM packages for protractor_webdriver and protractor. Setup the configuration file to point the the node_module path and config file paths.

Then install protractor node modules. The Gruntfile would look similar to this. I created a test directory where the conf and spec files would be located.

module.exports = function (grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    protractor_webdriver: {
        your_target: {
            options: {
                path: 'node_modules/protractor/bin/',
                command: 'webdriver-manager start'
            }
        }
    }, 
    protractor: {
        options: {
            configFile: "node_modules/protractor/referenceConf.js", // Default config file
            keepAlive: true, // If false, the grunt process stops when the test fails.
            noColor: false, // If true, protractor will not use colors in its output.
            args: {
            // Arguments passed to the command
            }
        },
        your_target: {
            options: {
                configFile: "test/conf.js", // Target-specific config file
                args: {} // Target-specific arguments
            }
        }
    }
});

grunt.registerTask('p:test', [
    'protractor_webdriver',
    'protractor'
]);  
});
