Installing

First install GhostJS (automatic install coming soon)

http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/BuildInstructions

For brevity, I've included some popular installs:

Fedora

For convenience, copy the executable bin/phantomjs to some directory in your PATH.

yum install qt-webkit-devel qt-devel
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git && cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.2
qmake && make

CentOS 5

http://rhythmicalmedia.com/?p=146

Add this to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

#ATrpms
[atrpms]
name= CentOS-$releasever - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/testing
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
enabled=1

Then

yum install qt47-devel qt47-webkit qt47-webkit-devel sqlite-devel

N.B. But make sure qt4 is uninstalled with yum remove qt4-devel

Then

git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git && cd phantomjs
/usr/lib64/qt47/bin/qmake-qt47 && make

But.... wait... you're still not getting it working? You may need to install some sort of X11 hacks

http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/XvfbSetup

sudo yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-fonts* -y

Make this file /etc/init.d/Xvfb

#! /bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: Xvfb
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:
# X-Start-Before:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
### END INIT INFO

N=/etc/init.d/Xvfb

set -e

case "$1" in
  start)
Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
;;
  stop|reload|restart|force-reload)
;;
  *)  
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0

Give it permissions

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/Xvfb

Start it

sudo /etc/init.d/Xvfb start

Add this to your ~/.bash_profile

echo "alias phantomjs='DISPLAY=:0 phantomjs'" >> ~/.bash_profile

Reload your session

source ~/.bash_profile

Mac OS X

With homebrew

brew update
brew install phantomjs

Contributing to screencap

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
