Answer 1

You have to go into the directory where you have your config file :
cd /yourPath/
Then run your file.

Answer 2

If you are using protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter then it should be installed locally to the folder where your project scripts and conf.js is present.
I was getting the below error
H:\protractorDemo>protractor conf.js
**Error:**
[05:20:41] E/configParser - Error code: 105
[05:20:41] E/configParser - Error message: failed loading configuration file con
f.js
[05:20:41] E/configParser - Error: Cannot find module 'protractor-jasmine2-html-
reporter'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:325:15)
and after installing it using command
npm install protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter --save-dev
on folder 'H:\protractorDemo>' it started working fine.
