Answer 1

I had troubles to install it via npm.

I decided to build it. I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.

First, check you have all the development packages installed :

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ flex bison gperf ruby perl libsqlite3-dev libfontconfig1-dev libicu-dev libfreetype6 libssl-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev python libx11-dev libxext-dev

Then download the source code : https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.0.0-source.zip

And run :
cd phantomjs-2.0.0-source sudo ./build.sh

It's a very long process to build it ! Be sure you know what you're doing.
