Module Description

The installation of wkhtmltox/pdf is automated by this module. It can download the latest version from sourceforge binaries and install it. Uses wget to do the initial download.

Setup

What wkhtmltox affects

• Installs a version specific installation of wkhtmltox/pdf to your system
• Shouldn't break anything, but do make sure you don't have a system repo install of 'whtmltopdf' as they might conflict.

Usage

puppet module install jlondon-wkhtmltox

Also supports inclusion in librarian-puppet

Usage of the module is pretty basic and shouldn't need much other than a default run:

class { 'wkhtmltox':
  ensure => present,
}

Limitations

Only tested to work with Debian wheezy, Ubuntu precise/trusty or centos 5/6.
