#' Install PhantomJS
#'
#' Download the zip package, unzip it, and copy the executable to a system
#' directory in which \pkg{webdriver} can look for the PhantomJS executable.
#'
#' This function was designed primarily to help Windows users since it is
#' cumbersome to modify the \code{PATH} variable. Mac OS X users may install
#' PhantomJS via Homebrew. If you download the package from the PhantomJS
#' website instead, please make sure the executable can be found via the
#' \code{PATH} variable.
#'
#' On Windows, the directory specified by the environment variable
#' \code{APPDATA} is used to store \file{phantomjs.exe}. On OS X, the directory
#' \file{~/Library/Application Support} is used. On other platforms (such as
#' Linux), the directory \file{~/bin} is used. If these directories are not
#' writable, the directory \file{PhantomJS} under the installation directory of
#' the \pkg{webdriver} package will be tried. If this directory still fails, you
#' will have to install PhantomJS by yourself.
#' @param version The version number of PhantomJS.
#' @param baseURL The base URL for the location of PhantomJS binaries for
#'   download. If the default download site is unavailable, you may specify an
#'   alternative mirror, such as
#'   \code{"https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/"}.
#' @param quiet logical. If it is \code{TRUE}, reduce the amount of output.
#' @return \code{NULL} (the executable is written to a system directory).
#' @export
