set executable PATH in Jupyter Notebook on google cloud cluster Python3

I opened jupyter notebook on my google cloud cluster with these steps: https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/tutorials/jupyter-notebook Now I get an error on this piece of code: 

import selenium  
from contextlib import closing  
from selenium.webdriver import PhantomJS  
with closing(PhantomJS()) as browser:  
     #some further code

I get the following error message:

WebDriverException: Message: 'phantomjs' executable needs to be in PATH.

Now in my own environment when I got this error, I fixed it by adding the path to my phantomjs.exe in my system variables. But now while I am on the google cloud cluster environment, I am looking for another way to add the phantomjs.exe path. Any other solution would be appreciated aswell.

I have no experience with Selenium or PhantomJS. However since Dataproc runs on Debian 8 Jessie and not Windows, you probably want to run sudo apt-get install phantomjs instead of using an exe. You could either install it manually after SSHing or in an initialization action.
