@rawzone Maybe you can fix the merge conflict so @barryvdh can merge? This is some nice info to have in the readme. Would have saved me some time 👍

[rawzone]

@mikevrind Sure thing - Will take a look at that in the following days. I'm quite new to the whole github pull request thingy so some how i missed this conflict.

[barryvdh]

Probably easier to just re-submit the text in this case

[rawzone]

Seems like it yes - Ill try to setup a fresh homestead install and check the information is still valid. If so make a fresh pull request with the information.

In my case, sudo was required to run each command listed in this PR, don't know if my homestead version has something to do with this (I will leave my configuration down below).

Anyway, here is the command list that worked for me:

1. sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
2. sudo apt-get install xvfb
3. echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nxvfb-run -a --server-args="-screen 0, 1920x1080x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf -q $*' | sudo tee /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh; sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh; sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
4. Reboot your homestead VM

Versions

• Vagrant: 1.9.1
• Provider: Virtualbox
• Homestead Box: 0.6.0
• Homestead Repo: 3.1.0
• OS: macOS Sierra

Note: I'm running Homestead 0.6.0 cause my app needs PHP 7.0, the lastest Homestead box is running on PHP 7.1

Hi guys, I've been digging stackoverflow and found another method to install it. I think it's a cleaner solution because it does not need a fake X Server to run.

1. sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
2. wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2/wkhtmltox-0.12.2_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
4. wkhtmltopdf http://google.com google.pdf should work without any problem.

I'm using Laravel Homestead with Ubuntu 18.04 and the only solution that worked for me was this one:

sudo wget https://builds.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12.1.3/wkhtmltox_0.12.1.3-1~bionic_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.1.3-1~bionic_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin

And like jbaron-mx said, test it with wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf

Verified. Same here.
