  • Download the appropriate static binary from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/

    yum localinstall wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-centos6-amd64.rpm
    
  • Create a symlink in /usr/bin to the executable:
  • Update the file permissions

    chmod 755 on the new file
    
  • run a test from the application and check the log for errors
    • Installing the wrong version will cause it to throw errors
    • selinux may stop the execution
  • Update the PCR-360 Configuration to specify the path to the converter.

Install Utilities for Knowledge Base

Install some other utilities that are used in the Knowledge Base

yum install poppler-utils

Some of the indexing tools on RHEL/CentOS are not included in the default RHEL/CentOS repositories so, you need to add a new repo.

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

This will add the rpmforge repo to yum; this URL may need to be updated if it gets too old…

yum install catdoc
yum install aspell

(may be already installed. Might need aspell-en which can be found here:

rpm -Uvh http://elders.princeton.edu/data/puias/6/x86_64/os/Addons/aspell-en-6.0-11.el6.x86_64.rpm
