How to install old PhantomJS 1.8.2 on Mac OS X

PhantomJS Install.md

PhantomJS

Install phantomjs (http://phantomjs.org)

brew has a recipe for phantomjs, but it has moved on to version 2.0.0, and we still require 1.8.2 (at newest), and we can't get that old and dirty with brew anymore.

On a Mac:

mkdir -p ~/root
wget https://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.8.2-macosx.zip -O ~/root/phantomjs-1.8.2-macosx.zip
cd ~/root
unzip phantomjs-1.8.2-macosx.zip
echo 'export PATH=~/root/phantomjs-1.8.2-macosx/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Now when you run which phantomjs you should see the phantomjs executable

which phantomjs
/Users/pboling/root/phantomjs-1.8.2-macosx/bin/phantomjs

Hey man,

that's great, but .zip file was moved to https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/phantomjs/phantomjs-1.8.2-macosx.zip

Cheers

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be complete. Now, when I try phantomjs -v it gives me a Segmentation fault: 11 error. And when I try to run my specs, it says "The detector # failed to detect theversion of the executable at '/Users/petercormack/root/phantomjs-1.8.2-macosx/bin/phantomjs'"

@Onikoroshi Did you find a fix for your issue? I am having the same one.

If you have suggested version already installed then you can switch between versions. https://docs.brew.sh/Tips-N'-Tricks

brew info phantomjs
brew switch phantomjs 1.8.2

FYI the download link no longer exists. The oldest version available for download is now here: https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-1.9.6-macosx.zip

Did anyone ever solve the Segmentation fault error?

I'm facing this error too. Any solution?

@millisami I think the best solution is to evaluate alternatives. PhantomJS is a dead project. NightmareJS is awesome. http://www.nightmarejs.org/
