PhantomJS with Selenium error: Message: 'phantomjs' executable needs to be in PATH
Working Solution:
Assumming you are on windows - it is similar for linux
1) download phantomjs here: http://phantomjs.org/download.html pick windows/linux accordingly
2) unzip your phantomjs-2.1.1-windows.zip and save it to for example c drive such as C:\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\bin (in here there is a phantomjs.exe that is the execute that your system needs)
3) On Windows10 edit your environment path to include this bin folder C:\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\bin such as this example
4) you may or may not restart your machine. Done! it should work! (Webdriver looks for phantomjs.exe and it should be ready now)
I solved same promlem with this command in command line
export PATH=${PATH:+$PATH:}/home/<login>/phantomjs/binIt's work if /home/login/phantomjs/bin is the path for folder with executable 'phantomjs'.
