(If you didn't try the documentation method, I recommend that you try it first )
If you are following the Bitnami by VMware Documentation and it didn't work for you, like in my case then...

first, start your odoo 15 on your vm and login:

Follow these tutorials all of them worked well for me:

• 1. https://community.bitnami.com/t/wkhtmltopdf-not-installing/51686
     
     
• 2. https://github.com/odoo/technical-training/blob/d21cc5ca28157b36c9c5a9ea5c899b38286a7e97/99-sysadmin/README.md#wkhtmltopdf

WKHtmlToPdf
To print reports, odoo generates an html, send it to wkhtmltopdf which is in charge of the html->pdf transformation.

$ sudo apt install libxrender1 fontconfig
$ wget http://nightly.odoo.com/deb/xenial/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
$ wget http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

Step 6: Installing Wkhtmltopdf Odoo uses wkhtmltopdf to convert the html reports into pdf format. But all the versions of wkhtmltopdf does not support odoo. Here is the process to install the supported version for a system with 64 bit architecture. First download the package for installation:

wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

Once the package is downloaded install it and copy the files accordingly:

dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb


sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin

when you are done, restart your vm and it should work ✅✅
