1.

Check if PhantomJS is installed correctly:

Ensure that the PhantomJS binary is installed at the specified location


(/home/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs). You can check if the binary is present and
executable by running the following command in the terminal:

bash
ls -la /home/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs

If the binary is not present, download and install PhantomJS from their official website:
https://phantomjs.org/download.html

2. Verify that PhantomJS is executable:

You can verify if the PhantomJS binary is executable by running the following command:

bash
/home/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs --version

If the command doesn't return the version number, you need to make the binary executable by
running:

bash
chmod +x /home/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs

3. Install necessary dependencies:

Make sure you have all the required dependencies installed on your system. For example, if you
are using a Debian-based distribution, run:

csharp
sudo apt-get install -y libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libicu63

4. Consider using a different WebDriver:

PhantomJS is no longer actively maintained. If you continue to face issues, consider using an
alternative WebDriver such as headless Chrome or Firefox. You can use the Chrome WebDriver
in headless mode with the following code:

python
from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver',
options=options)

Remember to replace '/path/to/chromedriver' with the actual path to your Chrome WebDriver
binary.
