Thank you!

It looks like it requires to install libxrender1 as well

sudo apt-get install libxrender1

airblade commented May 21, 2018

I also needed sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1.

nam-co commented Jun 26, 2018

Thanks, do you have any idea on how to install 0.12.5 on ubuntu 18? appreciate any help

vmdao commented Jul 8, 2018

Thank you so muck!

@nam-co
You can check here for getting the latest version.
Change the wget url to download newer versions.
Version 0.12.5

$ wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.trusty_i386.deb
$ dpkg -i  wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.trusty_i386.deb
$ apt -f install

Check

$wkhtmltopdf --version

if have err same version libstdc++.so.6. maybe OS not install right version
You check version here libstdc or link official

GCC 4.9.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.20
GCC 5.1.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.21
GCC 6.1.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.22
GCC 7.1.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.23
GCC 7.2.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.24
GCC 8.0.0: libstdc++.so.6.0.25

And install right version

$sudo apt-get install software-properties-common 
$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5 // with me version 5

For anyone else finding this and still having issues with this on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, (I was due to getting the dependencies in), basically libpng12-0 is no longer referenced as standard in 18.04, so you need to add an additional repository to pull it from

The below should sort it for you.

sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common && \
sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main" && \
sudo apt-get -yq update && \
sudo apt-get install -y libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libx11-dev libjpeg62 libxtst6 \
                           fontconfig xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base libpng12-0 && \
wget "https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.xenial_amd64.deb" && \
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.xenial_amd64.deb && \
sudo apt-get -f install

vizcubeinfotech commented Feb 6, 2019

For me, it was not working 0.12.5.1 version with 18.04 but 0.12.4 worked. Thanks

bcalik commented Mar 11, 2019

Ubuntu 18 steps should use bionic package, not xenial one.
This is the bionic package url: https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb

For the "wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 - Ubuntu 16.04 x64" part, it downloads wrong package.
It should download xenial but downloads trusty.

wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.xenial_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.xenial_amd64.deb
sudo apt -f install

paablux commented Jun 25, 2019

lijoantony commented Sep 10, 2019

For "wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 - Ubuntu 18.04 x64", I got this error
E: Package 'libpng12-0' has no installation candidate
Dropping 'libpng12-0' from the list worked.

Thank you for the information!

In my case

brew update && brew cask install wkhtmltopdf

Already up-to-date.

==> Caveats
Cask wkhtmltopdf installs files under /usr/local. The presence of such
files can cause warnings when running brew doctor, which is considered
to be a bug in Homebrew Cask.

==> Downloading https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.5/wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.
HTTPS-proxy has similar options --proxy-cacert and --proxy-insecure.
Error: Download failed on Cask 'wkhtmltopdf' with message: Download failed: https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.5/wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1.macos-cocoa.pkg

After latest mac os update it would not install with the following error:
Cask 'wkhtmltopdf' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists

Ubuntu 19.10 -
Package libpng12-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libpng12-0' has no installation candidate

You have to exclude "libpng12-0" from the list to get past this first error, then it will fail on missing wkhtmltox requirement.

Installation proposed for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common &&
sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" &&
sudo apt-get -yq update &&
sudo apt-get install -y libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libx11-dev libjpeg62 libxtst6

sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.focal_amd64.deb &&
sudo apt-get -f install

--> libpng12.0 removed as it is no more supported by ubuntu
--> use wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6-1 (more recent)
