You can do this

from your test directory

sudo npm install jasmine-node

This installs jasmine into ../node_modules/jasmine-node

then

../node_modules/jasmine-node/bin/jasmine-node --verbose --junitreport --noColor spec

which from my demo does this

Player - 5 ms
    should be able to play a Song - 2 ms

    when song has been paused - 1 ms
        should indicate that the song is currently paused - 0 ms
        should be possible to resume - 0 ms
    tells the current song if the user has made it a favorite - 1 ms

    #resume - 0 ms
        should throw an exception if song is already playing - 0 ms
