Hi, I already have downloaded the file “phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2” and upon executing this command: “tar xvf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2” I get this: “tar: phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2: cannot open: No such file or directory” When I do “ls”, this is what I see: conf mail phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 temp web
So, I have it downloaded but I’m not able to install it. As you can tell, I’m a newbie and appreciate any help.
Cheers!

Hi @fredj ,
Try this command:
tar -xvf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
Maybe you executed the wrong command.Here is also one step you need to do to create soft links:
#move the files to a place you like
sudo mv phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/src/phantomjs
#create soft links
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/src/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
This way you can use the phantomjs command directly in the shell. Then we check:
phantomjs
If you can see version number,this program is working.
