Solution 3 - Phantomjs
The eugene1g release and UPX install didn't work for me on El Capitan. What did work for me was installing PhantomJS using the phantomjs2 NPM package:
npm install phantomjs2
# Optional: symlink in a dir that's on my PATH:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
Solution 4 - Phantomjs
$ npm install -g phantomjs
worked for me on El Capitan.
The npm package isn't "official", it's maintained by a contributor, but it works. https://github.com/eugene1g/phantomjs
Solution 5 - Phantomjs
Blunt re-install using brew
Whatever is in /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
has stopped working for you.
If you've got ~30mins to spare you can reinstall and relink using brew:
# unlink old version
brew unlink phantomjs
# reinstall phantomjs
brew update && brew install phantomjs
# (You may wish to make a refreshing herbal tea or similar beverage here...)
# Update link to usr/local/bin
brew link --overwrite phantomjs
If you want to test what brew will do with overwrite
you can run
brew link --overwrite --dry-run phantomjs
Solution 6 - Phantomjs
Sometimes this happens when your current shell process is killed.
I was in tmux
using brew update
, and brew
updated tmux
and bash
, then bang! Everything in tmux
just returns Killed: 9
.
