FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘tesseract’

报错问题如下

Traceback (most recent call last):

解决方案

安装tesseract

sudo apt install tesseract

tips

此处是在ubuntu1604上出现问题然后解决了。
我之前是在win7下尝试过，相同的代码，总是报错。那么举一反三推测一下，win7下也应当安装tesseract。虽然在win7下安装tesseract之后直接cmd就可以用tesseract命令识别，而且安装的过程极为冗长而且会报错。。。，带了n多语言的库，比如c、Perl、lua等等。以保险起见，windows系列os下要用pytesseract还是将tesseract加以安装。否则可能会有未可知的错误。：）
