-    npm install
-
-Run both mediawiki/core and skin tests from mediawiki/core folder:
-
-    npm run selenium
-
-To run only skin tests, first in one terminal tab (or window) start Chromedriver:
-
-    chromedriver --url-base=wd/hub --port=4444
-
-Then, in another terminal tab (or window) go to mediawiki/core folder:
-
-    ./node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/selenium/wdio.conf.js --spec skins/SKIN-NAME/tests/selenium/specs/*.js
-
-Run only one skin test file from mediawiki/core folder:
-
-    ./node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/selenium/wdio.conf.js --spec skins/SKIN-NAME/tests/selenium/specs/FILE-NAME.js
-
-To run only one skin test from mediawiki/core folder (name contains string 'TEST-NAME'):
-
-    ./node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/selenium/wdio.conf.js --spec skins/SKIN-NAME/tests/selenium/specs/FILE-NAME.js --mochaOpts.grep preferences TEST-NAME
