I am trying to install current stable version 0.12.1, but it only installs 0.9.9.
Any chance to install latest version with apt-get install? It seems that 0.9.9 is very old :(

In Ubuntu 12.04, open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pov/wkhtmltopdf

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf 

In Ubuntu 14.04, open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ecometrica/servers

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf  

and one step after this is to reboot the server or else you will get the error: wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server .

In Ubuntu 16.04 and later wkhtmltopdf 0.12.2+ can be installed from the default Ubuntu repositories.

Steps:

1. 
   

   At first install xvfb serwer:

   
   
   
   
   

   sudo apt-get install xvfb
   
   

   
   


2. 
   

   Get needed version of wkhtmltopdf from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html.

   
   
   

   For Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit:

   
   
   

   wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
   
   

   
   


3. 
   

   Install wkhtmltopdf:

   
   
   

   sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
   
   

   
   
   

   Install dependency (if needed):

   
   
   

   sudo apt-get -f install
   
   

   
   


4. 
   

   Create symblic link in /usr/local/bin/:

   
   
   

   echo 'exec xvfb-run -a -s "-screen 0 640x480x16" wkhtmltopdf "$@"' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh >/dev/null
   
   sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
   
   

   
   

I used the following on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2/wkhtmltox-0.12.2_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install libxrender1 xfonts-utils xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi libfontenc1 x11-common xfonts-encodings libxfont1 fontconfig

sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

sudo reboot now

Note: this is version 0.12.2! So you don't have to deal with installing xvfb since you're probably not running X as it's a server.

If it fails at sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2_linux-trusty-amd64.deb then proceed with sudo apt get install -f to install with dependencies.

To install wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 on ubuntu 16.04, try this,

1. 
   

   Wkhtmltopdf version 0.12.5 is recommended for odoo 12.

   
   
   

   wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.trusty_amd64.deb

   
   


2. 
   

   Unpack and install the package.

   
   
   

   sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.trusty_amd64.deb

   
   


3. 
   

   This will install all dependencies.

   
   
   

   sudo apt -f install

   
   



4. Enjoy!

After trying the below command, It worked for me

cd ~

yum install -y xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 openssl git-core fontconfig

wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz

tar xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz

mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin
