laravel-snappy: The exit status code '126' says something went wrong

Hi barry, when I hit my end point I get this exception:

The exit status code '126' says something went wrong: stderr: "sh: /Users/xroot/dev_projects/meetings/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64: cannot execute binary file " stdout: "" command: /Users/xroot/dev_projects/meetings/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 --lowquality '/var/folders/ml/gzjp_czs0l9gcvwl4t297gn80000gp/T/knp_snappy555e07f59eaa96.81797228.html' '/var/folders/ml/gzjp_czs0l9gcvwl4t297gn80000gp/T/knp_snappy555e07f59ebe31.72659281.pdf'.

My config file:

<?php

return array(


    'pdf' => array(
        'enabled' => true,
        'binary' => base_path('vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64'),
        'timeout' => false,
        'options' => array(),
    ),
    'image' => array(
        'enabled' => true,
        'binary' => base_path('/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltoimage-amd64/bin/wkhtmltoimage-amd64'),
        'timeout' => false,
        'options' => array(),
    ),


);

My route end point:

Route::get('pdf',function(){

    $pdf = PDF::loadView('meetings.print');
    return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');

});

Also keep in mind that these are Debian Wheezy (7.8) binaries. If you are using Mac OS X or Windows, these binaries won’t work.

So what to do on a Mac OS X?

if you use macOS ,

first of all go to http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html , then download the proper package according to your os . after installing the package do the followings :

in the config/snappy.php file , write the name of the {bin file} which has been installed in /usr/local/bin , which in my case is wkhtmltopdf :

‘binary’ => ‘/usr/local/bin/{bin file}’

so :

‘binary’ => ‘/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf’
