PhantomJS

PhantomJS source code can be downloaded from http://phantomjs.org/download.html and then you can compile into your OS.

The other way is to use precompiled binaries. For example on Ubuntu 14.04 follow these instructions:

 

First we can find package to be installed:

#apt-cache search phantomjs

phantomjs - minimalistic headless WebKit-based with JavaScript API

 

 Then install:

#apt-get install phantomjs

 

 

NPM package

The better way I reccomend is to install PhantomJS as NodeJS package. In that case you can use PhantomJS as a NodeJS module.

 

#npm install -g phantomjs

 

Now it is inside /usr/lib/node_modules/ directory together with the other NodeJS modules.
