I followed these instructions (except for copying the executable to my PATH because I cannot seem to find it and it does not seem necessary). Then I made a file called image_render.js in my public javascripts directory with
console.log( Hello, world! );
phantom.exit();
inside it, saved it, and ran phantomjs render_image.js in my terminal.
However, my terminal does not recognize the command:
-bash: phantomjs: command not found
What have I done wrong?
The PATH really is the important part. You can skip it, however, if you specify the absolute path. Try something like this:
/path/to/phantomjs render_image.js
...but that can get tiring. For a quick way to add it to your PATH, from the directory of the phantomjs executable, symbolically link it into /usr/local/bin:
sudo ln -s /path/to/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/
/usr/local/bin is likely on your PATH.
add this line to this file /home/optiman2/.bashrc
PATH=/home/optiman2/phantomjs/bin:$PATH
this worked for me.
and remember to use this command, before test phantomjs: source .bashrc
FYI to Windows users upgrading to version 2.0.0 - the executable has moved. In addition to changing your PATH environment variable to 2.0.0, you ll need to add in to the end of the PATH that you had for the 1.x.x.
Mac PATH suggested setup:
vi ~/.bash_profile and hit enter (this opens or creates your bash_profile where you can customize Terminal commands).i to enter insert/edit mode then type alias phantomjs= ~/PATH/TO/phantomjs and be sure to replace ~/PATH/TO/phantomjs with something like ~/Documents/PhantomJS/bin/phantomsj or wherever the file exists on your machine.esc to exit insert/edit mode then type :x and hit enter to save the file.phantomjs and hit enter. If you see the prompt phantomjs> then you re all set.phantom.exit() to end the PhantomJS program.phantomjs. This is helpful when saving screenshots because the images will be saved inside the folder that s active in your Terminal.Whatever command is just a executable file. To be accessible by type its name directly, you have to put it into a path that system will look for that file directly.
For linux/OSX, it s /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Which really works? Well, it depends...
So what worked for me is extract the phantomjs.tar.bz2 source file to somewhere and copy the executable file to /usr/local/bin like this:
cp path-of-extracted-phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin
