#MAC OS OCR INSTALL#

If you don't want to take up the space on your computer, you can also choose individual languages and install them manually.

For example, you can download both Tesseract and all of the languages it naturally offers together at once using Homebrew on Mac with the command brew install tesseract-lang. How you will do this will differ based on your OS system as well as what package manager you may be using. You will need to make sure that you download both parts of Tesseract: the engine and the training data for a language. Don't worry about that. If you're having difficulties downloading Tesseract, email the Scholarly Commons, or come in during our hours and we can help you figure out which way will work for you. You may find that what works for your computer may not work for the person sitting next to you. There is no one way to download Tesseract. Information on package managers is located in the left column of this page. Some people - namely, Mac users - will either have to use or download a package management system to download Tesseract.

It is very important that you pay attention to what your system is, and what the specific needs of your system are.

Go to the Tesseract Installation Instructions But don't worry! We'll walk you through the steps to downloading Tesseract on this page.
