Login + Running Javascript on a page with no GUI?

Is it possible, with something like phantomjs, that somebody could navigate to a site, log in, and then execute a javascript code on the given site? (as if chrome's javascript console was open). Thanks.(No GUI, I need to use just the terminal for maximum speed and less power usage)

I have no idea what phantomjs is - do you need to use that?  Some text-mode browsers support javascript - elinks is one.

Thanks for the reply.
I have elinks, (no, I don't need to use phantomjs) but I have no idea how to run javascript. I looked up the tutorial but it wants me to install a package that doesn't exist: libmozjs-dev.

What tutorial?  What wants you to install a package?  There is really no need to add "help?" to your message - frankly it will likely have the opposite result and turn people away.  If you want help spend more time clarifying the issue.

Here is the "tutorial". Scroll down to ECMAscript support, I looked on various forums and that's how to enable javascript.

When I try to install, it says it has no installation candidate.

Sorry for the double-post

That is the debian package name.  Have you even tried searching for a spidermonkey/mozjs package in the AUR.  There is one.

This is a noob question, but how do I add that repo and install the package?

Then either read the wiki again, or search for that same error message.  Don't be a help vampire
