I'm using child-process to send an image to a python script in my node.js server. I can read the image in my python script, but once I try to convert it to a text using pytesseract.image_to_string i get this error "error: raise TesseractNotFoundError() pytesseract.pytesseract.TesseractNotFoundError: ./Tesseract/tesseract.exe is not installed or it's not in your PATH.". I have already added tesseract-ocr folder to my project, but have the error.

PS: when I try this in a normale js file, it works perfectelly. but in my node.js server it doesn't work!

How did you install tesseract?

The python library appears to be searching for it relative to its relative path.

I suggest that you modify this behavior by telling pytesseract where your executable is located with this property:

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'<full_path_to_your_tesseract_executable>'
