How do I resolve a TesseractNotFoundError?

Question

I am trying to use pytesseract in Python but I always end up with the following error:

    raise TesseractNotFoundError()
pytesseract.pytesseract.TesseractNo         


        

Answer 1

Most likely you have different versions of Python installed, ensure that the installed Tesseract is on the same Python version.

which pip3 shows you the path to the pip3 installation and which python3 shows the corresponding path to the Python installation.

Ensure that these two are the same.
