+#### Homestead
+
+If you are using homestead for your Laravel development you might have the problem that the shipped version of wkhtmltopdf for Ubuntu is compiled with the need for an installed x-server.  
+
+However to avoid installing a complet x-server in your Homestead enviroment you could use xvfb (X virtual framebuffer).
+
+Steps to setup wkhtmltopdf in Homestead with xvfb:
+
+1. `apt-get install wkhtmltopdf`
+2. `apt-get install xvfb`
+3. `echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nxvfb-run -a --server-args="-screen 0, 1920x1080x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf -q $*' > /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh; chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh; ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf`
+4. Test out making a PDF file: `wkhtmltopdf https://www.google.com google.pdf` (This should leave you with a PDF file of the google frontpage).
+
+You should now be able to use wkhtmltopdf/laravel-snappy in Homestead without installing a complete x-server.
