Answer 1

try this

binman::rm_platform("phantomjs")
wdman::selenium(retcommand = TRUE)

If error still comes out, then go here do download zip file. Unzip it, gett the .exe file, put it into usually this folder (yours may be different)

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\binman\binman_phantomjs\windows\2.1.1
