wkhtmltopdf provides two tools from the command line for returning HTML in PDF and image formats.

In our example, we use the SSH access and consider the following information:

  • Account name: foo

  • wkhtmltopdf directory: $HOME/wkhtmltopdf/

    foo@ssh:~/wkhtmltopdf$ wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.buster_amd64.deb
    foo@ssh:~/wkhtmltopdf$ dpkg -x wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.buster_amd64.deb .
    

Binary files will be available in the $HOME/wkhtmltopdf/usr/local/bin/ directory.
