How can I set up & run PhantomJS on Ubuntu?

by

Guidouil’s answer put me on the right track. I had to add one additional symlink to /usr/bin/, and I did direct symlinks for all 3 – see below.

I’m installing on Ubuntu server Natty Narwhal.

This is exactly what I did.

cd /usr/local/share
sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo tar xjf phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs

And finally when I do

phantomjs -v

I get 1.9.7

If anyone sees any problems with what I’ve done, please let me know.
