Maybe a bug?

wkhtmltopdf: error while loading shared libraries: libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am facing this error can anyone tell me how to get through this

I am also facing this error "wkhtmltopdf: error while loading shared libraries: libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

After installed " https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm"
Where is the "wkhtmltopdf" command?

at the command line type "which wkhtmltopdf" without the quotes.

Dependency (yum install fontconfig libXrender libXext xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi freetype libpng zlib libjpeg-turbo)

Install by
rpm -Uvh wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos8.x86_64.rpm
After successfully installed then you need to run

wkhtmltopdf https://github.com github.pdf (to Use wkhtmltopdf)

To automatically install all the needed dependencies of wkhtmltopdf it's better to use the default yum package manager like that: yum localinstall <package>.rpm , example:
yum localinstall wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm

LocalInstall may not fill up all dependencies

I was able to install successfully using the below:

wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uvh wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm

The below commands fixed the issue for me

Make sure to remove below two packages first for the clean installations
yum remove -y wkhtmltopdf
yum remove -y wkhtmltox

And then execute below two commands
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm

Verify
wkhtmltopdf --version

thanks!
