Installing phantomjs using npm error

I'm doing a unit testing for my javascript codes. I prefer to use a headless browser for easier running. It goes well when I installed some dependencies but when I install phantomjs, it has an error.

What should I do?

The simplest installation method is
Install NodeJS
Using Node's package manager install phantomjs: npm -g install phantomjs-prebuilt
After installation, you may use phantom as simple as:
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() # or add to your PATH
driver.set_window_size(1024, 768) # optional
driver.get('https://google.com/')
driver.save_screenshot('screen.png') # save a screenshot to disk
sbtn = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button.gbqfba')
sbtn.click()
If your system path environment variable isn't set correctly, you'll need to specify the exact path as an argument to webdriver.PhantomJS(). Replace this:
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() # or add to your PATH
... with the following:
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs')

Try run npm install phantomjs-prebuilt
phantomjs name changed to phantomjs-prebuilt on Pre-2.0 version release.

How to build VSCode on Windows?

I am trying to build https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode from the source, but I am not sure exactly what to do. When I ran scripts\npm.bat install, it completed successfully. Then I ran scripts\code.bat and a stranger window showed up. It is it the compiled version? It did not seem to work correctly.
How can I create full build? The page:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#build-and-run-from-source
Does not offered how to create an executable from the source. When I run scripts\npm.bat install what should happen? For now I only see it create the folder out/out-build within some javascript files, as showed bellow. What are those files and what I do with them?
Later I tried to ran the scripts\code.bat and created an executable similar in size to the stable version on the folder .build\electron:
But when I ran npm run watch, this error is throw:

I found the other question:
How to build release vscode version
But I could not figure it out correctly how to build it. Forehand I figured out the following steps to setup the environment:
Install NodeJS and npm. See
the tutorial How to Install Node.js® and NPM on
Windows
Run this command npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from cmd line as
Administrator. See npm install error - MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component
“VCBuild.exe”
Install gulp. See gulpjs/gulp#Getting
Started
Steps to Reproduce
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
cd vscode
scripts\npm.bat install
npm run watch
Outputs: F:\vscode>npm run watch
File npm-debug.log:
1) When I ran the command scripts\npm.bat install for the first time, this was the output:

And the following window showed up:

The problem seems to be the outdated version 6.11.0 of nodejs used. From the issue: Failed at the code-oss-dev#1.15.0 watch script 'gulp watch --max_old_space_size=4096' on the VSCode issue tracker, we may follow the steps:
Install Node 7.9.0
git clean -xfd .
git pull
.\scripts\npm.bat install
Then, if there are no errors:
npm run watch
Run it until it tells you compilation succeeded. Then:
.\scripts\code.bat

When I try to follow the instructions, I get:

Appreciate your attention.

If you type in:
cat /etc/dogtag
you will get a readout. This readout tells you what version of Linux you have on your machine. If you go to http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian, the images are updated regularly for the BBB and BBG boards.
Try to update your image and then upgrade to the newer version of socket.io.

P.S. If this does not work, please let me know.

Node.js npm install express failed to fetch from registry [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
"message failed to fetch from registry" while trying to install any module
(15 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am starting my first Node.js server. I am attempting to follow a tutorial in Node.js.
Having installed Node.js and executed npm install, the next instruction is to start the server by running node server.js which generates the following error:
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

npm not ok

Seems like it's a SSL certificate issue with the repository, because it worked with HTTP but not HTTPS.
For troubleshooting only
To troubleshoot, on a sandbox where you're okay running untrusted code, you can confirm this by trying the repository under HTTP this insecure hack: running npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ (or whaterver repo) then npm install express.
If that worked when the HTTPS doesn't, then it's probably an SSL issue.
Please do not use this insecure config as a fix. It's not a fix.
Installing from HTTP opens you up to running code from a malicious source.
The fix is to update node/npm versions and/or fix the SSL.

This helps as an alternative solution to accepted answer:
npm config set strict-ssl false
The problem with npm is that the default registry ssl certificate is not recognized properly.
