I'm on FreeBSD, but it installs MacOS X binary.

$ file /path/to/laverna/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs
/path/to/laverna/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 executable, flags:<NOUNDEFS|DYLDLINK|TWOLEVEL|BINDS_TO_WEAK|PIE>

The same issue also addressed here: https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/12963

This is actually a pretty big issue for me as well. It's unfortunate that other packages (such as grunt-mocha-phantomjs) are depending on a pre-built binary. I am able to build and run phantomjs on my FreeBSD systems without issues though, so I'd like to propose that phantomjs-prebuilt has a valid FreeBSD binary.

I am happy to assist with this work, although it's not obvious to me as to how the OSX and Linux binaries are produced so that I can use the same method for FreeBSD. Can someone point me in the right direction for this?

also - this patch can probably be applied as well, since osx/darwin binaries are def not compatible with freebsd nor openbsd. there is a probably a more elegant solution where we throw an exception or warning if we don't match linux, windows nor osx - but I think this will prevent us from installing incompatible binaries on bsd hosts:

for now, you'll have to find/compile your own and put it on PATH
