Install PhantomJS on MacOs 10.11 El Captian

Question

I can't install phantomJs in my macbook after upgrading to 10.11 (El Capitan).

Whenever I try to install it using homebrew it gives me this error:

$ brew install phantomjs
phantomjs: OS X Yosemite or older is required.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

You should take a look a the [Github issue](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/44525) — Thomas Ayoub, Nov 05 '15 at 09:34

Something is broken since Xcode 7, if you have npm you can install it:

npm install -g phantomjs-prebuilt

Now that the issue have been handled, you can download it.

Yes, you're right. I've finally installed it using npm – jfcorugedo Nov 05 '15 at 09:53

FYI... This npm installer is now called phantomjs-prebuilt. – Big Tree Energy Jun 16 '16 at 18:19

Note that :

npm install -g phantomjs

Will install v1.9.8

The latest preview version v2.0.1 works correctly on 10.11 El Captian is available as a binary download.

Just copy bin/phantomjs from the download into /usr/local/bin/ (or wherever you want it) on your machine.

For me neither the brew nor downloaded from phantomjs.org 2.1 version is not working. I've been struggling all evening. After downgrading to 2.0 (downloaded from https://github.com/eugene1g/phantomjs/releases) everything is working. I'm using codeception with acceptance test on Mac Os Sierra. – Rafał Mnich Dec 13 '16 at 21:17

Install It through Homebrew or MacPorts

brew install phantomjs

or

port install phantomjs

Check the version using: phantomjs --version

Which will install the latest version. Currently: 2.1.1

My Mac OSX version: OS X El Capitan - Version 10.11.6

Thanks!

If that doesn't work try:

brew install npm

npm install phantom phantomjs -g

The quickest and easiest way to install stand-alone phantomjs (tested on Mac OSX El Captian) (using brew or macports to install takes too long time since they will install the whole qt and other packages)

download and unzip phantomjs-2.0.0-macosx.zip from http://phantomjs.org/download.html
brew install upx
upx -d phantomjs-2.0.0-macosx/bin/phantomjs
- If you did not unpack phantomjs with upx, “killed -9” error occurs PhantomJS: getting "Killed: 9" for anything I'm trying
Add phantomjs to system path in Terminal: sudo nano /etc/paths
echo $PATH
add your_directory/phantomjs-2.0.0-macosx/bin to the end
Hit control-x to quit.
Enter “Y” to save the modified buffer.
restart terminal
Terminal: phantomjs -v will show you the version of phantomjs if it is correctly installed

thank you! I downloaded the correct version i needed and was able to self install. — mihai, Jun 15 '16 at 06:58
i download and move the phantomjs into /usr/local/bin. works for me — , Sep 22 '17 at 06:59

Latest released binary (2.1.1) for Mac has all the dependencies included in the binary. It works out of the box http://phantomjs.org/download.html
