OCR does not install on ubuntu 18.04

Asked by jerome on 2020-04-06

When I try to use text() on a region in ubuntu 18.04 I get the following error...

[error] see: https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX1/wiki/macOS-Linux:-Support-libraries-for-Tess4J-Tesseract-4-OCR
[error] Save your work, correct the problem and restart the IDE!

I notice that I had not run ldconfig however on doing so I get this error

I have downloaded tess4j but it isn't clear what if any the manual step is to make it available to jython/sikuli-ide

tess4j is not the problem. It is bundled with SikuliX.

The problem comes from the tesseract library.

As mentioned in the link, tesseract 4.0.0 does not work, it must be a version 4.1.x.

At the link there is an example, that was tested, to get a version 4.1.0

Can you help with this problem?
