Tessaract can be installed by using apt-get like so sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr -y
Due to how text detection is setup in this project,
the tessaract english trained data needs to be replaced with one from this
link or the helpers/eng.traineddata file. The
file is located at /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/. Alternatively, using the
find / -type f -iname "eng.traineddata"
command in terminal will give you an accurate
location of where the tesseract data is located on your machine. Simply copy the traineddata from the site or locally
to the tessdata location.
