I usually use PyVirtualDisplay in Linux but is not working under Windows.

But now. I need to try using phantomjs and casperjs for running my python script in background under Microsoft Windows.

Ok, as of Dec 5th, 2016 I had to change the phantomjs link for it to work. It is in line 10. All elese goes fine (if we use the same version).
Old line 10: sudo wget https://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
New line 10: sudo wget https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/phantomjs/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

PS: I also tried using phantomjs v2.11 but that failed on my Debian Wheezy (w/ Kernel 3.16). It gives a file not found error (when trying to run phantomjs), seems to be arch-related or some missing dependencies. Didn't have the time to investigate more.
