Solution 1:

As phantom is probably installed in /usr/local/bin, you should add that dir to PATH in your crontab. The following should do the trick:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Solution 2:

As an alternative to accepted answer, you can add the following line at the 1st line of crontab:

PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE=/usr/local/bin/phantomjs

which specifies the path of PhantomJS before running cron tasks.

Solution 3:

that did the trick for me:

#!/bin/bashexport DISPLAY=:0
/usr/bin/phantomjs /home/pi/test.js
