phantomjs: command not found
I followed these instructions (except for copying the executable to my PATH because I cannot seem to find it and it does not seem necessary). Then I made a file called image_render.js in my public javascripts directory with
console.log('Hello, world!');
phantom.exit();
inside it, saved it, and ran phantomjs render_image.js in my terminal.
However, my terminal does not recognize the command:
-bash: phantomjs: command not found
What have I done wrong?
Answer
The PATH really is the important part. You can skip it, however, if you specify the absolute path. Try something like this:
/path/to/phantomjs render_image.js
...but that can get tiring. For a quick way to add it to your PATH, from the directory of the phantomjs executable, symbolically link it into /usr/local/bin:
sudo ln -s /path/to/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/
/usr/local/bin is likely on your PATH.
