phantomjs: command not found
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
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
.
Mac PATH suggested setup:
- Open Terminal.
- Type
vi ~/.bash_profile
and hit enter (this opens or creates your bash_profile where you can customize Terminal commands). - Press
i
to enter insert/edit mode then typealias 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. - Press
esc
to exit insert/edit mode then type:x
and hit enter to save the file. - Quit and re-open Terminal.
- Type
phantomjs
and hit enter. If you see the promptphantomjs>
then you're all set. - Type
phantom.exit()
to end the PhantomJS program. - Now you can navigate to any folder and run PhantomJS by simply typing
phantomjs
. This is helpful when saving screenshots because the images will be saved inside the folder that's active in your Terminal.
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 \bin
to the end of the PATH that you had for the 1.x.x.
