You likely have a custom bin-dir defined in your composer.json. You either need to remove that or manually delete the files that conflict on composer install.

See https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/vendor-binaries.md#can-vendor-binaries-be-installed-somewhere-other-than-vendor-bin-.

You can potentially have the same logic without this error on composer install by adding a symlink:

ln -s vendor/bin bin

Note: You might have to rm -rf bin first or else it will make a symlink bin/bin to vendor/bin.

I am experiencing the same issue.

Any solution?

This occurs because in version 0.12.2.3 the owner of the lib placed two .bin files with the same name.
I suggest using this link and downloading it: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
