First, you should install or update system packages to the latest versions. Also, install the required packages needed by PhantomJS to work correctly.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev

official website. After downloading the archive file, just extract this to desired system location. You don’t need to install this.
$ wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 $ tar xvjf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local/share/

$ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/share/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin

$ phantomjs --version 2.1.1
You can also find the version details from PhantomJS prompt. To get PhantomJS prompt type “phantomjs” on shell prompt and you will get the prompt. Now type phantom.version to get version details.
