See #42249 (comment).

It's an upstream issue, not a Homebrew one. You can try brew update && brew install phantomjs --HEAD but there are no guarantees that will succeed.

As a workaround.. I've downgraded to 1.9.8.. it's working.. but too slow.

npm install phantom phantomjs -g

I have Apple OS X - El Capitan and I did the following and looks like it's working:

sudo npm -g install phantomjs2

When I executed this command, If failed installing.... it never finished but the phantomjs v2 gets downloaded to this directory

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/phantomjs/phantomjs-2.0.0-20141016-macosx.zip-extract-1447034534278/phantomjs-2.0.0-20141016

It will contain a bin and examples directory

Go into the bin directory where you will find the phantomjs file 50MB approximately.

Check in what directory phantomjs file located:

which phantomjs (i got = /usr/local/bin/phantomjs but this file points to: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/bin/phantomjs)

As root (sudo cp) copy the downloaded phantomjs file to this directory (in my case = /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/bin/). NOTE: the last part, phantomjs is the file name. Don't include it.

Check that this file is executable. If it is not executable, use chmod to make it executable.

Phantomjs should be installed now.

Try

phantomjs --version

Thank you for the tips @joaquinalcerro !!!

Disregard I got it working 👍

1. sudo npm install phantomjs2 -g (it will hang)
2. cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/phantomjs/phantomjs-2.0.0-20141016-macosx.zip-extract-1447034534278/phantomjs-2.0.0-20141016/bin
3. sudo cp phantomjs /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/bin/
4. phantomjs -v 2.0.0(dev)

I am running into an issue while attempting to copy the phantomjs file. I am seeing this error:

sudo cp /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/bin

cp: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/bin/phantomjs and /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs2/bin/phantomjs are identical (not copied).

I'm prob just doing it wrong 😫 Would you mind elaborating at all?

Update

Upon executing ./phantomjs in the /bin dir
I am seeing this error:

internal/child_process.js:274
  var err = this._handle.spawn(options);
                         ^

Also happens while trying phantomjs -v
