Installing wkhtmltopdf software on Linux Operating System KNOPPIX 7.2


1.   Installed wkhtmltopdf on Linux Operating System KNOPPIX 7.2 using Synaptic Package Manager by
      searching for the software as shown below



2.   Click ' Search ' then the software ' wkhtmltopdf ' will appear below the package with the square box
      colored green. In this case, the square box next to the ' wkhtmltopdf ' is colored green because the
      software was installed earlier as shown below.



3.   To run the software, open a ' root terminal ' window then choose whatever website or whatever
      webpage that we want to convert to pdf by selecting the  website URL or the webpage URL then
      run the Linux command as shown below.

Above is an example of a webpage or a website that I want to convert to PDF

4.   Click the URL and  ' Select All ' and then ' Copy " and  ' Paste '  to the ' root terminal window ' after
       typing/keying the word  ' wkhtmltopdf ' as shown below. Also, please do not forget to save the PDF
       file under whatever name you prefer. In this case I choose to save the PDF file under the name
       putin.pdf

5.   This basically complete the installation of the ' wkhtmltopdf ' software for the Linux Operating System
       KNOPPIX 7.2
