PhantomJS
How to install PhantomJS on Ubuntu
First, install or update to the latest system software.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev
Install these packages needed by PhantomJS to work correctly.
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev
Get it from the PhantomJS website.
cd Downloads
wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
export PHANTOM_JS="phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64"
sudo tar xvjf $PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2
Once downloaded, move Phantomjs folder to /usr/local/share/
and create a symlink:
sudo mv $PHANTOM_JS /usr/local/share
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/share/$PHANTOM_JS/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin
On Kali you might receive an OpenSSL error, quick fix to this is as follows:
Create an empty openssl.cnf file and set environment variable to use it.
touch /tmp/openssl.cnf
export OPENSSL_CONF="/tmp/openssl.cnf"
Now, It should have PhantomJS properly on your system.
phantomjs --version
