SOLVED: PhantomJS 2.5 Beta: Library not loaded: libwebp.6.dylib

After installing PhantomJS 2.5 Beta on MacOS, I ran into the following error after trying to get the version:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/webp/lib/libwebp.6.dylib

After some research, I found out that the library behind it ‘webp’ had been updated to libwebp.7.dylib.

Step 1: Install webp via Homebrew

If you have a Mac and are a developer, I assume that you already have homebrew installed. If you don’t know what this means, you can checkout the homebrew site at: https://brew.sh

1. Before starting, ensure your homebrew installation is up to date brew update
2. Install webp: brew install webp

Step 2: Add a symlink for libwebp.6.dylib to reference libwebp.7.dylib

1. Close and re-open, or open another terminal window
2. Browse to your webp lib directory cd /usr/local/opt/webp/lib
3. Look at the directory for the library file ls
4. If you see libwebp.7.dylib, add the symlink ln -s libwebp.7.dylib libwebp.6.dylib
5. If you see a version different from libwebp.7.dylib, you can try the other version in place of libwebp.7.dylib in the example above

Step 3: Test it out

1. Close all of your previous terminal windows and open up a new one
2. Try checking the PhantomJS version again: phantomjs --version
