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
