I got it working with the following versions of protractor, elementor, and webdriver-manager installed globally running chrome version (61.0.3163.91) :

$ which protractor
/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.3/bin/protractor

$ protractor --version
Version 5.1.2

$ which elementor
/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.3/bin/elementor

$ elementor --version
2.1.0

$ which webdriver-manager
/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.3/bin/webdriver-manager

$ webdriver-manager version
I/version - webdriver-manager 12.0.6

Verified that it was grabbing (at least) chromedriver_2.32.zip with webdriver-manager update:

[21:52:45] I/update - chromedriver: file exists /home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.3/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/chromedriver_2.32.zip
[21:52:45] I/update - chromedriver: unzipping chromedriver_2.32.zip
[21:52:45] I/update - chromedriver: setting permissions to 0755 for /home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.3/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/chromedriver_2.32
[21:52:45] I/update - chromedriver: chromedriver_2.32 up to date

Afterwards, I was able to do webdriver-manager start and elementor www.google.com successfully.

I found out I just needed to update chrome by modifying the following in elementor/lib/spawnHelper.js:

//line 36:
child.stderr.on('data', process.stderr.write);

//became
child.stderr.on('data', function(data) {
  console.log("child error:", data);
  process.stderr.write(data);
});

With the addition of the console log, I saw the actual error that, for whatever reason, wasn't written to process.stderr (was getting a generic throw err error), that informed me I needed to upgrade to at least chrome 59.x.x.x.

Downgrade your node to 6.9.5. That should do the trick.

Thanks. It would be great if elementor could work with the latest LTS version of Node (atm 8.10) This would help a lot of people, because a lot of teams migrate from LTS to LTS version
