Kibana should be working even with that error, but in order to fix it you can check if you have the correct permissions for that. By default you shouldn't unzip or run Kibana as root, you should use either the es user as described in the docs or a normal user.

You can also try to copy the phantomjs zip here:
/usr/local/www/kibana6/node_modules/x-pack/plugins/reporting/.phantom/

Thanks!

run Kibana on Mac.
Change permission and phantomjs path.
