Answer 1

Problem is "Unicharset_extractor" not install in your system. So please install tesseract training tools

INSTALL TRAINING TOOL

brew install --with-training-tools tesseract

Please uninstall tesseract if you already installed it.

UNINSTALL TESSERACT

brew uninstall tesseract

NOTE: please read logs while install training tools and follow the steps which mentioned in logs.

It’ll take some more time to install the training tool so you’ll never quiet the terminal meantime.

Please install Homebrew before work out above command.

Answer 2

You will need to build Tesseract training executables; they are separate from the regular Tesseract executable.
