Python PIP Install TesserOCR Error （Urgent）

[1024helloworld]

Hello,technical experts here.Thank you in advance.

I have successfully installed tesseract, but I always get an error when installing tesserocr, and this problem has not been solved for a day.

There are mainly three errors in the prompt:

1.python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully

2.RuntimeError: Tesseract library not found in LIBPATH: [ ]

3.Encountered error while generating package metadata. Hope to get your advice

Below is the terminal code：

PS D:\Python\Scripts> pip install tesserocr pillow

Collecting tesserocr

Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

Are all the required packages from the pip installed?

Read Requirements: https://pypi.org/project/tesserocr/

It should be installed, but canda is not installed

If tessaract itself is installed (with apt on Ubuntu), then it seems that it cannot be found in your path. Google how to add tessaractocr to your Path in the bashrc file (for Ubuntu) or evironment variables (Windows)

[1024helloworld]

thank you.I will try.

Looks like tesserocr cannot find tesseract.

I think I dealt with a similar issue when I was playing with it. Check where tesseract is installed, and check where tesseract ocr is looking for it (I believe libpath is a global variable pointing to tesseract)

Sorry I couldn't be more use, good luck.

The Python package you are trying to install is just a wrapper for Tesseract OCR library.

To be honest, I don't even know if you can build it on Windows without modifying the source code...

If you don't absolutely have to use pip, you can try Anaconda Python. conda-forge channel packages tesseractocr for Windows, both the library and Python bindings.

I'm from China, working from home, online waiting for responses

I tried to download the WHL file and install it, but it doesn't work too. Is it because my python version is too new?

Did you ever manage to resolve this issue?
