tesseract: tesseract is not installed or it is not in your path

I have faced the same issue, the solution is very easy,

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"full path to the exe file" pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(new_image, config=‘–psm 11’)

worked fine for me.

Hi, I am using tesseract in while loop in my script. But from time to time (once daily) I am getting this error. Tesseract is installed and works, but I get this message once per day. How to solve it?

Traceback:
