PhantomJS: getting "Killed: 9" for everything I'm trying

Question

Just installed phantomjs, mac os x yosemite. Whenever I run / bin / phantomjs, with any option, I get Killed: 9 . Any idea?

Answer 1

re: run phantomjs on osx yosemite, download the build / patch found at:

https://github.com/eugene1g/phantomjs/releases

original version:

https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/12928

Answer 2

• Install UPX. UPX is an executable packer and unpacker

   $ brew install upx 

• Unzip the phantomjs

   $ upx -d phantomjs-2.0.0-macosx/bin/phantomjs 

• Run phantomjs executable

   $ ./phantomjs-2.0.0-macosx/bin/phantomjs 

Answer 3

The release of eugene1g and the installation of UPX did not work for me on El Capitan. For me, installing PhantomJS using the NPM phantomjs2 package worked:

 npm install phantomjs2 # Optional: symlink in a dir that on my PATH: ln -s /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs 

Answer 4

$ npm install -g phantomjs worked for me on El Capitan.

The npm package is not "official", it is supported by the contributor, but it works. https://github.com/eugene1g/phantomjs

Answer 5

Blunt reinstall using brew

Everything in /usr/local/bin/phantomjs stopped working for you.

If you have ~ 30 minutes, you can reinstall and reuse with brew:

  # unlink old version brew unlink phantomjs # reinstall phantomjs brew update && brew install phantomjs # (You may wish to make a refreshing herbal tea or similar beverage here...) # Update link to usr/local/bin brew link --overwrite phantomjs 

If you want to check what brew will do with overwrite , you can run

  brew link --overwrite --dry-run phantomjs
