Install wkhtmltopdf

Hi, I need for my application wkhtmltpdf. How can Install on pythonanywhere? For terminal install need sudo so i see this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2273534/how-to-install-wkhtmltopdf-on-a-linux-based-web-server but what operation system use pythonanywhere for download the right binary files?

We're Ubuntu Trusty under the hood... Let us know how you get on!

64-bit by the way...

Sorry, I have problem with this installation :) I have the deb package but with the bash I can't use sudo so I can't use wkthmltopdf like a service because in my program I use call method of web2py..There isn't any solutions?

Hm. You could try and extract the standalone binaries from the .db -- there's a forum post about it here.

Or you could use one of the other tools we have preinstalled for pdf conversion. I think we have one called "weasyprint"?

I think abiword might be able to do pdf conversion as well? That's preinstalled too...

Thanks a lot, weasyprint work fine on pythonanywhere

Great -- thanks for confirming!
