Scripted steps (tested as a root sudo su):
./scripts/1-opt-remove-container.sh- (optional) remove tesseract-ocr if it already exists and you want to start from begining (note, all compilation results stored inside container will be lost)../scripts/2-run-new-container.sh- run the new tesseract-ocr container../scripts/3-opt-show-ocr-info.sh- show ocr version info./scripts/4-test-ocr.sh image_url- do some OCR tests. 1st argument is image url e.g. https://github.com/vincenthome/tesseract-ocr-compilation/blob/master/test-images/problem.tif?raw=true./scripts/5-opt-build-pkg.sh- (optional) build Leptionica and Tesseract packages and copy them outside tesseract-ocr container./scripts/x-pull-container.sh- pull tesseractshadow/tesseract4cmp image from Docker Hub (automated build using dockerfile from this repository)../scripts/x-update-src.sh- update source code of Leptionica and Tesseract../scripts/x-compile-src.sh- compile Leptionica and Tesseract, it may take tens of minutes
