Installation
- Download the latest wkhtmltopdf from its download page.
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list Extract the file and copy to /usr/bin- It provides installation package for each well-known OS so just use the package for your OS to install.
e.g.)

The following instructions are outdated.

$ tar -jxvf wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-i386.tar.bz2 $ mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 wkhtmltopdf-i386-0.11.0_rc1 $ chown root:root wkhtmltopdf-i386-0.11.0_rc1 $ mv wkhtmltopdf-i386-0.11.0_rc1 /usr/bin/
- Create
/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
#!/bin/bash xvfb-run -a -s "-screen 0 640x480x16" wkhtmltopdf-i386-0.11.0_rc1 $*
$ chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh $ cd /usr/bin $ ln -s wkhtmltopdf.sh wkhtmltopdf
If running wkhtmltopdf causes the following error
