How to install wkhtmltopdf on a linux based (shared hosting) web server

by

I’ve managed to successfully install wkhtmltopdf-amd64 on my shared hosting account without root access.

Here’s what i did:

Downloaded the relevant static binary v0.10.0 from here: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list

EDIT: The above has moved to here

via ssh on my shared host typed the following:

$ wget {relavant url to binary from link above}
$ tar -xvf {filename of above wget'd file}

you’ll then have the binary on your host and will be able to run it regardless of if its in the /usr/bin/ folder or not. (or at least i was able to)

To test:

$ ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://www.example.com example.pdf
  • Note remember that if you’re in the folder in which the executable is, you should probably preface it with ./ just to be sure.

Worked for me anyway
