This isn’t a difficult process, but I’m sure I’ll need it again, so here it is.

Pre-requisites:

  1. Download the latest version of libwkhtmltox and the source of wkhtmltopdf from Google Code.
  2. Copy lib/libwkhtmltox.so from libwkhtmltox to /usr/local/lib.
  3. Copy include/wkhtmltox from wkhtmltopdf to /usr/local/include.

  4. Run the following command (just to make sure it’s loaded):

     $ldconfig -v | grep wkhtml

PHP Bindings:

  1. Grab php-wkhtmltox from GitHub.
  2. Install.

Installation:

If development tools aren’t installed:

$apt-get install build-essential php5-dev  # (ubuntu)
$phpize
$./configure
$make install

Add extension=phpwkhtmltox.so to php.ini.

P.S. These instructions are for Ubuntu. If you’re on CentOS, things are more difficult, good luck.
