Warning: Compiling PhantomJS from source takes a long time, mainly due to thousands of files in the WebKit module. With 4 parallel compile jobs on a modern machine, the entire process takes roughly 30 minutes. It is highly recommended to download and install the ready-made [binary package]({{ site.url }}/download.html) if it is available.
Mac OS X
Install Xcode and the necessary SDK for development (gcc, various tools, libraries, etc).
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 2.0
./build.sh --qt-config "-I /usr/local/include/ -L /usr/local/lib/"
This produces a statically built bin/phantomjs. This is a self-contained executable, it can be moved to a different directory or another machine.
Linux
First, install the development packages of the following tools and libraries: GNU C++ compiler, bison, flex, gperf, Perl, Ruby, SQLite, FreeType, FontConfig, OpenSSL, and ICU. The actual package names may vary from one distribution to another.
On Debian-based distro (tested on Ubuntu 14.04), run:
sudo apt-get install g++ flex bison gperf ruby perl \
libsqlite3-dev libfontconfig1-dev libicu-dev libfreetype6 libssl-dev \
libpng-dev libjpeg-dev
Note: It is recommend also to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer package.
On Fedora-based distro (tested on CentOS 6), run:
sudo yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ make flex bison gperf ruby \
openssl-devel freetype-devel fontconfig-devel libicu-devel sqlite-devel \
libpng-devel libjpeg-devel
Then, launch the build:
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 2.0
./build.sh
Note: build.sh by default will launch parallel compile jobs depending on the available CPU cores, e.g. 4 jobs on a modern hyperthreaded dual-core processor. If necessary, e.g. when building on a virtual machine/server or other limited environment, reduce the jobs by passing a number, e.g ./build.sh --jobs 1 to set only one compile job at a time.
Windows
Note: Supported toolchains: MSVC2012 and MSVC2013.
Note: You must have Perl, Python, Ruby, and Git on PATH.
Use Visual Studio Command Prompt, run in the top directory. The results will go into bin:
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 2.0
build.cmd
Note: git.exe has to be on PATH. If you are using a wrapper (git.cmd, git.bat, etc.) modify build.cmd and replace git.exe with whatever you have on the PATH.
Note: Enabling incremental linking will make the linkage process faster.
This produces a static build bin/phantomjs.exe. This is a self-contained executable, it can be moved to a different directory or another machine.
