phantomJS fatal error, rules.js

[Charles Simmons]

Admittedly new to grunt but have come at this from a multitude of different approaches and still getting the below:

Running "criticalcss:home" (criticalcss) task

Something went wrong with phantomjs...
Fatal error: Command failed: [filepath]/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs [filepath]/node_modules/criticalcss/lib/rules.js css/min/style.min.css

gruntfile:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
	grunt.initConfig({
	    criticalcss: {
	        home: {
	            options: {
	                url: 'http://localsite.dev',
	                filename: 'css/min/style.min.css',
	                outputfile: 'css/min/critical.min.css',
	                width: 1200,
			height: 900,
			buffer: 800*1024,
			restoreFontFaces: true
	            }
	        }
	    }
	});
	
	grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-criticalcss');
		
	grunt.registerTask('default', ['criticalcss']);
	
};

Have run rm -r node_modules && npm cache clean && npm install to see if I could clean install around the issue, but still the same error.

I am having a similar issue, but I can't even install critical due to an issue with phantomjs

Here's my terminal output

NPM is out of date
