I am trying to install some rpm packages in my oraacle linux. I am downloading using wget command , Like the following,
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/addons/x86_64/getPackage/VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.22_91544_el6-1.x86_64.rpm
Can I use wget install together to download and install those packages ?
If the file is downloaded then you can use the below command
sudo alien -i rpmpackage.rpm
I followed some instructions to install node.js on a Linux server and ran in to the following blocks. I started out by doing sudo apt-get install python-software-properties and that worked fine. Then, I did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js. But, wait - there is no command add-apt-repository. OK, so I looked it up and it told me to do apt-get install software-properties-common and that would have been fine, except it gave me this error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package software-properties-common
Well, what can I do to get node.js on my server? Obviously, none of this works and it's Debian, in case you were wondering. I really need help on this. Basically, how can I install software-properties-common if it does not exist? It just won't show up.
For a Debian install of the latest node.js, you should follow these instructions, not requiring you to add the PPA:
sudo apt-get install python g++ make checkinstall
mkdir ~/src && cd $_
wget -N http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz
tar xzvf node-latest.tar.gz && cd node-v*
./configure
checkinstall #(remove the "v" in front of the version number in the dialog)
sudo dpkg -i node_*
UPDATE: I wrote this a long time ago. Since then, I find using nvm a much less painful way to get node onto machines. As per link, steps are basically reduced to:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install node
I use the git to install node js, the method I use is below:
mkdir ~/local
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git
cd node
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install
cd ..
After this, I use node on my command line, it tell me no node.Any one can help me?
I got the method form https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814, but can't work.
My path is here.
You have to make before you make install.
The wiki has more information about building from source.
I used NVM to install Node.js to my Ubuntu computer:
First install these packages
sudo apt-get install curl build-essential libssl-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libexpat1-dev
Install nvm
git clone https://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
To activate nvm, you need to source it from your bash shell (e.g, add to your ~/.bash_profile)
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
The following steps are also required when upgrading Node
Install Node (use whichever version you like, but v0.8.x works)
nvm install v0.8.23
nvm alias default v0.8.23
nvm use v0.8.23
Any issues, I would check out the NVM repo.
This is my build script for node.js on ubuntu. I don't build from the bleeding edge most recent code, but its close to your process.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/
node_version=`grep -i 'current version' index.html | sed -E 's/.*([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*/\1/'`
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v$node_version/node-v$node_version.tar.gz
tar -xzf node-v$node_version.tar.gz
cd node-v$node_version
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
rm -rf node-v$node_version.tar.gz node-v$node_version index.html
I set up PhantomJS and recorded it to video: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnizmh_1_webcam
Build instructions: http://phantomjs.org/build.html
Is there anything wrong in my setup?
After I set it up I read the quick start tutorial and tried to write this code
phantomjs hello.js
It gives me "command not found" error. How can I solve this problem?
Guidouil's answer put me on the right track. I had to add one additional symlink to /usr/bin/, and I did direct symlinks for all 3 - see below.
I'm installing on Ubuntu server Natty Narwhal.
This is exactly what I did.
cd /usr/local/share
sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo tar xjf phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
And finally when I do
phantomjs -v
I get 1.9.7
If anyone sees any problems with what I've done, please let me know.
PhantomJS is on npm. You can run this command to install it globally:
npm install -g phantomjs-prebuilt
phantomjs -v should return 2.1.1
download from phantomjs website the prebuilt package :
http://phantomjs.org/download.html
then open a terminal and go to the Downloads folder
sudo mv phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 /usr/local/share/.
cd /usr/local/share/
sudo tar xjf phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
then to check install phantomjs -v should return 1.8.1
Install from package manager:
sudo apt-get install phantomjs
Here are the build steps I used (note these instructions are for version 1.3. See comments to this answer for the installation instructions of the latest PhantomJS):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libqtwebkit-dev qt4-qmake
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git && cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.3
qmake-qt4 && make
Now install Xvfb
sudo apt-get install xvfb xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-scalable xfonts-cyrillic
Launch Xvfb:
Xvfb :23 -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
Now run phantom:
DISPLAY=:23 ./phantomjs hello.js
For PhantomJS version above 1.5, consider this (verbatim copy of the build instructions on the phantom website):
For Ubuntu Linux (tested on a barebone install of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Lynx and Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal):
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.7
./build.sh
For Ubuntu you can use the prebuilt versions downloadable from the PhantomJS site.
If you have some serious time on your hands you can also build it yourself. (This is exactly the procedure from Nikhil's answer).
The guys over at PhantomJS recommend using the binaries to save time:
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 if it is available.
With a modern machine they mean > 4 cores, > 8gb mem I think. I tried it on a micro AWS instance and gave up after 2 hours.
In short: install the prebuilt packages from the PhantomJS site per their instructions.
Personaly I prefer using npm (see Arnel Bucio answer)
sudo npm install -g phantomjs
but! I noticed that some of npm module still can't see it as global executable.
so!
Create new /usr/share/phantomjs/ directory link
cd /usr/share
sudo ln -s ../lib/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom phantomjs
Remove old /usr/bin/phantomjs executable link and create the new one
cd /usr/bin
sudo mv phantomjs phantomjs.old
sudo ln -s ../share/phantomjs .
in my vagrant bootstrap:
apt-get install -y build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.9
echo y | ./build.sh
ln -s /home/vagrant/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
cd ..
I have done with this.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.9
./build.sh
See link
Installation guide is in ...
https://gist.github.com/julionc/7476620
And run in terminal with this command
phantomjs --webdriver=4444
From the official site: phantomjs site
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.8
./build.sh
For Ubuntu, download the suitable file from http://phantomjs.org/download.html. CD to the downloaded folder. Then:
sudo tar xvf phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo mv phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
Make sure to replace the file name in these commands with the file you have downloaded.
Be aware this is definitely one way to do it:
$ sudo apt-get install phantomjs
$ phantomjs -v
1.6.0
Sadly, it installs 1.6 and not the latest one, but this works for my purposes.
I know this is too old, but, just i case someone gets to this question from Google now, you can install it by typing apt-get install phantomjs
On Ubuntu for Windows, I found neither apt-get nor npm versions worked for me. What worked was the script from this comment.
For ease of use, I pasted the whole thing into a script file called install_phantomjs.sh, made it executable (chmod u+x install_phantomjs.sh), and then ran it (./install_phantomjs.sh)
Or the latest - 32bit version Linux
sudo wget http://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
Installation and Calling Phantomjs
Follow the steps doesn't work, but cloned from others built. (ver2.0)
Bellow the installation procedure by Julio Napurí https://gist.github.com/julionc
Version: 1.9.8
Platform: x86_64
First, install or update to the latest system software.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev
Install these packages needed by PhantomJS to work correctly.
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev
Get it from the PhantomJS website.
cd ~
export PHANTOM_JS="phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64"
wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/$PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvjf $PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2
Once downloaded, move Phantomjs folder to /usr/local/share/ and create a symlink:
sudo mv $PHANTOM_JS /usr/local/share
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/share/$PHANTOM_JS/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin
Now, It should have PhantomJS properly on your system.
phantomjs --version
I have found this simpler way - Phantom dependencies + Npm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev
and npm
[sudo] npm install -g phantomjs
Done.
On linux to run hello.js don't forget to add the path of hello.js:
phantomjs YourPathToPhantomjsFolder/examples/hello.js
If you want to use phantomjs easily, you can use it at phantomjscloud.com
You can get the result just by http request.
This is how I place a specific version of phantomjs in /usr/local/bin on my docker containers.
curl -Ls https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases/download/v1.9.19/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 \
| tar jxvf - --strip-components=2 -C /usr/local/bin/ ./phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs
or with out ./ depending on OS.
curl -Ls https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases/download/v1.9.19/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 \
| tar jxvf - --strip-components=2 -C /usr/local/bin/ phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs
You can get up and running without sudo or npm. Simply download, extract, and add to path.
This has the added advantage of easy backup if you are in the habit of backing up your entire home folder which I highly recommend. This also works with any version of Linux.
➤ cd ~
➤ wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
➤ mkdir phantomjs
➤ tar xjf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C phantomjs
➤ echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/phantomjs/bin"' >> .profile
➤ source .profile
➤ phantomjs -v
2.1.1
The disadvantages are:
You will need to manually upgrade
Other users will not have access to this.
You could use a very simple shell script for installing/upgrading
#!/bin/sh
# install_phantomjs.sh $VERSION
$VERSION = $1
printf "Downloading PhantomJS $VERSION...\n"
wget "https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-$VERSION-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2"
printf "Extracting PhantomJS $VERSION to ~/phantomjs...\n"
mkdir ~/phantomjs
tar xjf phantomjs-$VERSION-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C ~/phantomjs
printf "Done! Make sure $HOME/phantomjs/bin is in your path.\n"
Or in a Dockerfile
# Download and setup PhantomJS
ENV PHANTOMJS_VERSION 2.1.1
RUN curl -fSL "https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-$PHANTOMJS_VERSION-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2" -o /tmp/phantomjs.tar.bz2 && \
mkdir ~/phantomjs && \
tar xjf /tmp/phantomjs.tar.bz2 -C ~/phantomjs && \
rm /tmp/phantomjs.tar.bz2
ENV PATH /home/$USERNAME/phantomjs/bin:$PATH
Here is what I did
on my ubuntu 16.04 machine
sudo apt-get update
sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo mv path/where/you/downloaded/phantomjs /usr/bin
and finally when I do
phantomjs -v
I get 2.1.1
After going through every answer of this thread. I think this is the best solution for installing and running phantomjs in ubuntu.
I have a question regarding the installation of the boost libraries. Is there a package that I can use the sudo apt-get install to install this package. I searched all of the questions in this forum and using the commands sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-dev I cannot install theh package with this. Also, I can download it from boost.org but I do not know the correct path to install it too. I would prefer to install it using the sudo apt-get install commands if possible. I am using Ubuntu 9.04.
Thanks.
If you want to run with the latest version, you can do the bjam install as mentioned by Ralf, but I suggest you build a 'pseudo' package so you can
uninstall it safely
prevent/notice conflicts with official/existing boost packages.
Here is how to do that:
mkdir -pv /tmp/boostinst
cd /tmp/boostinst/
wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.66.0/boost_1_66_0.tar.bz2/download'
tar xf download
cd boost_1_66_0/
./bootstrap.sh --help
./bootstrap.sh --show-libraries
./bootstrap.sh
checkinstall ./b2 install
On new boost version there is other way:
sudo apt-get update
wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.50.0/boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2/download'
tar xf download
cd boost_1_50_0
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 install
You can use command aptitude search libboost to see list of the availiable boost libraries. The last version of boost is 1.42 - maybe that's why you can't find version 1.40.
If aptitude search command don't give you sufficient results, try sudo aptitude update and then run aptitude search again.
On my version of Ubuntu (10.04) it's libboost1.40-all-dev
On your version you've probably got an older version of boost, you should just be able to tab-complete to see which version you can install.
In any case what I usually do under Ubuntu is
sudo apt-get install bjam
Extract the downloaded boost archive to your hard-drive and then cd into the root and
sudo bjam install
This way you can get the newest version of boost, and not the slightly outdated one that is available for your Ubuntu version.
This is a link which explain step by step on how to install it (give it some time read!)
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
but your inline shell command might be the simple and easy way for doing it
