i deployed my streamlit app on streamlit cloud using github, and am using pdfkit to convert a html string to pdf, on my local machine this works fine, but when i try to print the pdf i get a permission denied error:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘/app/app/wkhtmltopdf.exe’
how can i solve this permission issue,
thanks in advance
You are probably trying to run a windows executable, this will not work, because streamlit cloud is a linux debian based environment.
so if i found a way to run a debian file instead of an exe file it should probably work? is there another way to configure wktohtml to my github repo?
i replaced the .exe file with the .deb file, and i configured the correct path to this file, and it still shows the same error, Permission Denied:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘./wkhtmltox_0.12.6.1-2.bullseye_amd64.deb’
No, that’s not how it works, you can’t just copy executable files to the Streamlit Cloud environment.
Additional binary packages - if available in the debian repository - have to be installed via the packages.txt file.
