How to run a test project written in Protractor in Jenkins, which is deployed on a server without npm and nodejs installed?

Question

Jenkins

The project is started with Grunt. There is no node_modules on the server and I suspect that I will not be able to install the necessary packages on it. In theory, tests should be run simply with the grunt (default) command. Is there a way to run a project without installing npm and the necessary packages on the server where Jenkins is deployed?
PS: I'm new to JS, I just need to write autotests in Protractor, so I'm sorry if I offended you a little by the inaccuracy of the question.

Answer 1

you can run the project in a Docker container, and put whatever you want in the container. But, of course, you need a docker - on a server with Jenkins or on some other server, it doesn't matter.
