I know this has been answered but nothing works, I run my code

import pytesseract
import cv2
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"C:\\Users\\aidan\\AppData\\Local\\Tesseract-OCR"
image = cv2.imread(r'C:\Users\aidan\OneDrive\Desktop\download.jpg')
cv2.cvtColor(image,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(image))
cv2.imshow('Result',image)
cv2.waitKey()

and I always get this error

[ WARN:0@0.043] global D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\imgcodecs\src\loadsave.cpp (239) cv::findDecoder imread_('download.jpg'): can't open/read file: check file path/integrity

    hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args,

how can I fix this?

You have dropped the executable in the cmd-variable:

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"C:\Users\aidan\AppData\Local\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"
