Answers:
Ensure that you have pip, if you dont: What is the official "preferred" way to install pip and virtualenv systemwide?
First you will need to install the requirements:
ReportlabToolkit 2.1+
you will need to download mercurial for cloning the repository:
sudo apt-get install mercurial
then clone the repository:
hg clone https://[email protected]/rptlab/reportlab
cd reportlab/
python setup.py install
html5lib 0.10+
Look for the latest http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/ download, download it manually or:
curl -O [latest]
ex: curl -O https://html5lib.googlecode.com/files/html5lib-0.95.tar.gz
tar -xvzf [downloaded archieve]
ex: tar -xvzf html5lib-0.95.tar.gz
cd [extracted folder]
ex: cd html5lib-0.95/
then:
python setup.py install
PIL 1.1.6+ (optional)
pip install Pillow
pyPdf 1.11+ (optional)
Will be used if you like to place another PDF as a watermark in the background of PDF pages
get the latest package at https://pypi.org/project/pypdf/
curl -O http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/pyPdf-1.13.tar.gz
tar -xvzf pyPdf-1.13.tar.gz
cd pyPdf-1.13/
python setup.py install
Finally:
get pisa package link at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pisa
curl -O [pisa package link]
ex: curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pisa/pisa-3.0.33.tar.gz#md5=e2040b12211303d065bc4ae2470d2700
tar -xvzf pisa-3.0.33.tar.gz#md5=e2040b12211303d065bc4ae2470d2700
cd pisa-3.0.33/
python setup.py install
That´s it
*Obs: Sometimes pip commands needs sudo.
pisa is an abandoned project. The very first line of its entry says:
PLEASE SWITCH TO THE MORE RECENT VERSION AT: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xhtml2pdf
If you really want to use the obsolete pisa, you can. You linked to the install docs, which show you exactly what to do.
Unlike pisa, xhtml2pdf is designed to install using pip, and the requirements are set up properly (in particular, using Pillow, which can be pulled in automatically, instead of PIL, which often doesn’t work), so all you have to do is:
pip install xhtml2pdf
This will automatically pull in all of html5lib, pyPdf2, Pillow, reportlab, and six if you don’t already have them, then install xhtml2pdf, and then you’re done.
If you don’t already have pip, install it first.
On *nix, if you’re not using a virtualenv, user site-packages, or group-writable site-packages, you will of course need sudo pip install xhtml2pdf instead. (But you really should consider using a virtualenv instead.)
