How to install wkhtmltopdf (Amazon Linux2)

I made a note because I stumbled on various things when I installed wkhtmltopdf in the Amazon Linux 2 environment on the container. Check the basic procedure below. https://laox.com/ja/9mcv

Installation procedure

Download wkhtmltopdf Download the required version of the package from the official repository.

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos6.x86_64.rpm

Installation of required fonts Without it, you will get angry when installing wkhtmltopdf.

yum install -y xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1

Installation of wkhtmltopdf Here is where it didn't work like the referring page. The installation command is as follows.

rpm -Uvh wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos6.x86_64.rpm

When I run it ...

rpm -Uvh wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        openssl is needed by wkhtmltox-1:0.12.6-1.centos6.x86_64

Apparently, the downloaded / saved file name is different from the required file name.

pwd

ls -ltr

By the way, the rpm options are as follows.

-U: rpm -U <rpm_file> can perform either upgrade or installation functions as needed for the package. -vh: With the -v and -h options (combined with -U), rpm displays the verbose output and uses the hash mark to display the progress meter.

Why can't I use the downloaded file name as it is? By the way, when I tried to download openssl with the desired file name, I got a 404 error. I thought about renaming the file, but I think it's different. Examine the package dependencies.

rpm -qRp wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos6.x86_64.rpmca-certificates
fontconfig
freetype
glibc
libX11
libXext
libXrender
libjpeg

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1
zlib

Are all of these dependencies installed? I decided to try it with the yum command.

yum install -y wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos6.x86_64.rpm
Downloading packages:
Delta RPMs disabled because /usr/bin/applydeltarpm not installed.

It seems that they are doing it from the download of the package that seems to be missing. as a result,

wkhtmltopdf -V
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6 (with patched qt)

Installed! Yum seems to work because it installs dependent packages as well.

■ Bonus

Garbled characters occur when I try to use it!

Since the work is root and the actual use is apache, is it a permission problem? You can read it if you think.
