I would like to build simple NodeJS REST API that uses WebKitGtk to print HTML to PDF (this is the start, I getting more ideas).
So I managed to bring it up locally on my Debian Stretch dev laptop using:
1. Node,
2. Express and
3. libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev (apt install) and node-webkitgtk (npm install) packages
Next I wanted to make it run on Webfaction hosting, so I logged in.
I compiled Cmake with --prefix=$HOME and... I hit the wall...
In webkitgtk-2.17.4/Tools/gtk folder there is install-dependencies script that does not run without sudo...
How can I get over that obstacle and make WebKitGtk binary available to my local Node JS instance?
