Doesn't find Tesseract-ocr about ankiocr

Reasonably familiar, at work we develop via remote SSH on an AWS ubuntu instance, so I'm becoming a little more familiar, but don't use it day to day on my personal computer yet. Will update this issue when some more changes are made 👍

I'm on Arch and I also had this problem, adding a symlink fixed it.

ln -s /usr/bin/tesseract /usr/local/bin/tesseract

edit : I also noticed the path was wrong : which tesseract returns /usr/bin/tesseract, without "local".

Changing this doesn't solve my issue though.

Installing pytesseract via pip3 either.

Thanks for giving it a try, I might expose the path to the directory for edge cases like this - I don't have a Linux distro installed at the moment to attempt this, but would that help? Logs aren't currently being written, but I can start writing them, maybe via a debug flag in the config, that might help too. I'm a bit snowed under with med school and work, might not get to this until later in the week.

Thanks for answering quickly. If you're not already familiar with linux I don't think it will be an efficient way to solve this than to make you install it.

I think logs will be useful, but I might eventually figure it out on my own. Maybe some other users will chime in with helpful information.

Nice to see a felow med schooler doing coding ;).

So i've updated this to default the path in Linux installs to /usr/bin/tesseract , and leaving MacOS as /usr/local/bin/tesseract.

Additionally, I've added config variables for override_tesseract_exec (boolean) and teseract_exec_dir (path to directory), so if users want to customise where it's looking, they can do so.
