CasperJS: command not found

[Marco Ippolito]

Hi everybody,

in my Ubuntu T1 AWS istance I downloaded and installed CasperJS 1.1

So in the main directory I have:

n1k0-casperjs-cd1fab5 directory 

casperjs (sym-linked from bin directory) 

and googlelinks.js (copied from example directory).

Typing casperjs googlelinks.js the result is:

casperjs: command not found

What am I missing? what do I have to do?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards

Marco

I'm wondering if you symlinked the directory. 

You have to run Casper from casperjs/bin/casperjs, so your best bet is to symlink the location of the actual executable into a directory always searched by your path:

ln -sf /path/to/casperjs/bin/casperjs /usr/local/bin/casperjs

You may also need to make it executable: 

chmod 755 /path/to/casperjs/bin/casperjs

Then it should work from anywhere!

Hi Andrew,

thank you for giving me some help.

This is what I did:

sudo ln -sf ~/n1k0-casperjs-cd1fab5/bin/casperjs /usr/local/bin/casper js

chmod 755 ~/n1k0-casperjs-cd1fab5/bin/casperjs

But now it says:

"casperjs googlelinks.js

phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

googling I found that this problem occurs when phantomjs is an older version than 1.6.0 (https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/446 )

So:

I uninstalled my PhantomJS from my package manager with sudo apt-get remove phantomjs

and then

I downloaded from here: http://phantomjs.org/download.html the latest (1.9.2) version of the binary code for Linux: https://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

I extracted the directory phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-x86_64 but the problem persists:  casperjs googlelinks.js

phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What do I have to do next?

Thank you again

Kind regards

Marco

is phantomjs on the path end executable? you can check by writing

```phantomjs --version``` on the command line, if the output is different than something like:```phantomjs bla bla version 1.9.X``` then the problem is phantomjs installation

[Marco Ippolito]

Hi Alon,

as Ariya rightly pointed out, phantomjs doesn't contain some libraries (FreeType,FontConfig), that must be installed in the system.

So I installed the missing library FontConfig, and now CasperJS seems working.

Thank you for your kind help.

Kind regards.

Marco
