#### Homestead

If you are using homestead for your Laravel development you might have the problem that the shipped version of wkhtmltopdf for Ubuntu is compiled with the need for an installed x-server.

However to avoid installing a complet x-server in your Homestead enviroment you could use xvfb (X virtual framebuffer).

Steps to setup wkhtmltopdf in Homestead with xvfb:

1. `apt-get install wkhtmltopdf`
2. `apt-get install xvfb`
3. `echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nxvfb-run -a --server-args="-screen 0, 1920x1080x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf -q $*' > /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh; chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh; ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf`
4. Test out making a PDF file: `wkhtmltopdf https://www.google.com google.pdf` (This should leave you with a PDF file of the google frontpage).

You should now be able to use wkhtmltopdf/laravel-snappy in Homestead without installing a complete x-server.
