PhantomJS is an headless browser based on an embedded webkit, suitable for testing of web applications involving JavaScript usage where simpler tools do not cut it.

sudo yum -y install cups-devel NetworkManager-devel mysql-devel postgresql-devel  unixODBC-devel freetds-devel xorg-x11-server-devel sqlite-devel qt-webkit-devel qt-devel
