Re: [Tiki-devel] Packages and Fitness Check not working

Hi Torsten,

For printing (well, pdf printing) I went with WeasyPrint (one  of the 4
printing options in Control Panels > Printing) because they had simple
instructions on their site.  But, you do need access to the command
line/terminal - it seems that now this is possible on shared hosting and,
actually pretty common.  It's highly likely you have it in cPanel, maybe
you just missed it?

br,
Mike
p.s. but the other app in Packages that is very helpful is Diagrams - I'll
have to look if I can install Draw.io by command line somehow...
