How to get latest repository for WkHTMLtoPDF on Ubuntu 12.04.5 via SSH

Question

I figured out grab a version of WkHTMLtoPDF on my server using my own answer:

add-apt-repository ppa:pov/wkhtmltopdf

But this is giving me version 0.12.1 and as of Jan. 19, 2015 version 0.12.2.1 has been released. How do you specifically indicate the version of the repository you want to add-apt-repository?

In that apt repository its the last version. Go to the website and download the newest version as deb file. Then install that file with

dpkg -i filename.deb

Where do I drop the file on my server? add-apt-repository is kind of like magic to me with regards to where things are placed. – mtpultz Jan 28 '15 at 22:17

`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` there are the sourced added in separated files. – René Höhle Jan 28 '15 at 22:18
Oh so where would you drop the .deb file? /bin? – mtpultz Jan 28 '15 at 22:44

You don't need that file after installation. Install it with that command and delete the deb file. – René Höhle Jan 28 '15 at 22:45
