I think this path would not work for linux users is there any way this can be supported for all Os.
Is there a reason to add the path , what does it accomplish?

@DiptoChakrabarty when users download wkhtmltopdf, the configuration needs to be set up for the conversion to work. The pdfkit.from_string() function needs to be able to access the .exe application of wkhtmltopdf, else it will throw errors stating it couldn't find the PATH to the .exe file. That's why it is necessary to define the path to the .exe application and provide it as the input to the pdfkit.configuration() function, which is later used by the pdfkit.from_string() function.
Also, I searched on the internet, there's no option but to manually set the PATH up. I will still try searching for a solution, maybe I have missed.
