These steps work for Ubuntu 16.04. To make telbiyski's steps work on Ubuntu 14.04, I had to change line 10 from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin. This may not be a good idea, because package managers might automatically change files there in future.

Remember to use the right release for your system. E.g. for an old Ubuntu machine, line 6 would be export PHANTOM_JS="phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-i686". The releases available with these commands are here.
