For Visual Studio [NuGet]:

The easiest way of installing PhantomJS is by using a NuGet Package Manager.

In your project, right click "References", and click on "Manage NuGet Packages" as shown:

Then, type "PhantomJS" to the search bar, select it and install it as shown below.

Here's a list of other recommended packages:

• Selenium.WebDriver - To use PhantomJS with Selenium
• Selenium.Support - To further extend capabilities of Selenium

Now, add these references at the beginning:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.PhantomJS;
 

Now you can test it with a simple program like this [C#]:

using (var driver = new PhantomJSDriver())
{
    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://stackoverflow.com/");

    var questions = driver.FindElements(By.ClassName("question-hyperlink"));

    foreach (var question in questions)
    {
        // This will display every question header on StackOverflow homepage.
        Console.WriteLine(question.Text);
    }
}
 

Loading a Webpage

var page = require('webpage').create();
page.open('http://www.google.com', function(status) {
  console.log("Status: " + status);
  var title = page.evaluate(function() {
    return document.title;
  });
  console.log("Loaded page: " + title);
  phantom.exit();
});
