wkhtmltopdf: How do I install 0.12.5-1 (the one Odoo needs) on Ubuntu 20.04 ?

Question

The installation guide states:
wkhtmltopdf is not installed through *pip* and must be installed manually in
version \0.12.5 for it to support headers and
footers. See our \wiki for more
details on the various versions.
(from \https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/setup/install.html#prepare )

The easiest way to do this is to download the .deb file from the wkhtmltopdf project github. For example, downloading wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 for Ubuntu 20.04 on amd64:
$ wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.focal_amd64.deb Then you can install the .deb file with apt:
$ sudo apt install ./wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.focal_amd64.deb Hope that helps.
