Help installing static binary for wkhtmltopdf

Question

I am trying to use the static binary of wkhtmltopdf on Ubuntu server 10.0.4. The reason for is that it apparently has a built in modified QT that will allow me to run wkhtml

Answer 1

I was having the same problem. I removed the existing wkhtmltopdf and followed the steps below and the installation worked.

First, installing dependencies

sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev

for 64-bit OS

wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.2-static-amd64.tar.bz2

tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.2-static-amd64.tar.bz2

chown root:root wkhtmltopdf-amd64

mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

The only difference is that I put it in /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.

I hope this helps!
