How do I resolve a TesseractNotFoundError?

Question

Under Windows 10 OS environment, the following method works for me:

1. https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki Download tesseract and install it. Windows version is available here: https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki

2. Find script file pytesseract.py from C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\pytesseract and open it. Change the following code from tesseract_cmd = 'tesseract' to: tesseract_cmd = 'D:/Program Files (x86)/Tesseract-OCR/tesseract.exe'

3. You may also need add environment variable D:/Program Files (x86)/Tesseract-OCR/

Hope it works for you!
