How can I use 'pdfkit' in djngo?-CodePudding

I want to generate pdf in my django project. I use pdfkit module to convert html page as a pdf file. I use this function but it has errors, like: OSError Exception Value:
No wkhtmltopdf executable found: "b''" If this file exists please check that this process can read it or you can pass path to it manually in method call, check README. Otherwise please install wkhtmltopdf - https://github.com/JazzCore/python-pdfkit/wiki/Installing-wkhtmltopdf

  def customer_render_pdf_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
     pk = kwargs.get('pk')
     customer = get_object_or_404(Person, pk=pk)
     enrolment = get_object_or_404(Enrollment,pk=pk)  
     template_path = 'test.html'
     context = {'customer': customer, 'enrolment':enrolment}    
     template = get_template(template_path)
     html = template.render(context)    
     pdf = pdfkit.from_string(html, False)
     response = HttpResponse(pdf, content_type='application/pdf' )
     response['Content-Disposition'] = 'filename= "report.pdf"'
     return response
