Running Tesseract 5 on Linux

[Peter Kronenberg]

Has anyone had any luck installing Tesseract 5 on Linux?  It doesn’t seem to be available in any of the package managers

Under "Linux" do you mean Linux distribution? Which one do you use? 

+ I expect that before writing the post to the forum you read docs: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdoc/blob/main/Installation.md

What did you tried and what problem you face?

I’m not a Linux guru, but usually, I just do an apt-get install tesseract-ocr, and it seems to install version 4.1.1 by default.  Not sure if anything else needs to be done to get version 5

I’ve been using it for over a year, back when version 5 was still in Alpha.  And I’ve never been able to figure out how to get it on Linux.  I’ve successfully installed on Windows, but all the package managers seem to just get version 4.1.1.  Currently, we use docker and we use the openjdk:8 image, although we’d been willing to switch if there was another Linux that Tesseract 5 was available on

Ubuntu has its policy for accepting the new version of packages. 

If https://notesalexp.org/tesseract-ocr/html/  or https://launchpad.net/~alex-p/+archive/ubuntu/tesseract-ocr5 (referred by https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdoc/blob/main/Installation.md) is too complicated for you there are other tutorials on the internet on how to install the latest tesseract version on Ubuntu:

To avoid difficulties, compile from src is a proper way on ubuntu.
