I read the official documentation of NPM and seems that the 'accepted' answer on this thread is now incorrect ( It is possible that at the time of the original post the answer was correct ). You can review the official NPM document -

• For WebDriverJS => https://www.npmjs.com/package/webdriverjs

The document says -

Project is now called WebdriverIO and has moved to webdriverio/webdriverio on GitHub. Please use $ npm install webdriverio because this NPM project is not maintained anymore!

• For selenium-webdriverjs => https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-webdriverjs

The document says -

Hence the only official Selenium-JavaScript library is selenium-webdriver

Hope this helps!
