Installing PhantomJS on Ubuntu 13.04

PhantomJS is a headless WebKit with JavaScript API. It has fast and native support for various web standards: DOM handling, CSS selector, JSON, Canvas, and SVG.

I have a virtual machine in which Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit) version is installed. After a few attempts, I found the way how to install PhantomJS 1.9 to my virtual machine.

Steps are bellow:

~cd /Downloads
wget https://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvf phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo mv phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs

To check is installed successfully run such command:

phantomjs --version
