ocropus/ocropy not found?

[John Chew]

I'm trying to download and install OCRopus for the first time on an old Ubuntu system (8.04.2).

As per the instructions at https://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ I have entered:

$ hg clone -r ocropus-0.6 https://code.google.com/p/ocropus

Here's the result:

> hg clone https://code.google.com/p/ocropus/

destination directory: ocropus

I appear to be missing ocropus/ocropy, and can't proceed any further.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

John

Hi John, you're not doing anything wrong as far as I can tell. Looking at the repo, it looks like the ocropy directory has disappeared:

https://code.google.com/p/ocropus/source/browse/

Thanks, Tim. Does anyone know if the ocropy directory is available elsewhere?

It looks to me like there are multiple repositories there.  Perhaps try http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/source/list?repo=ocropy

That's right. Each of the sub projects is namespaced into its own repo.

Try:

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/ocropus.ocropy/

See also http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/source/checkout?repo=ocropy. You can change repositories by using the dropdown on the top right.

I had downloaded in ubuntu 12.04(64bit) successfully  as per installation laid down in the ocropus project. Extract of installation is reproduced below:

$ hg clone -r ocropus-0.6 https://code.google.com/p/ocropus

    $ cd ocropus/ocropy
    $ sudo apt-get install $(cat PACKAGES)

    $ python setup.py download_models
    $ sudo python setup.py install
    $ ./run-test


successfully tested using script ./run-test
in ubuntu 12.04(64bit). I did not found 
any problem so far.

System Requirements: The recommended system configuration is 

Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) with at least 4 Gbytes of memory and 
a fast processor.

Thanks, Tim and Tom. That seems to work, and I am currently stuck (after having to upgrade Python to 2.7) trying to figure out why setup.py can't find numpy. As soon as I do, I'll post a transcript here of everything I did.

I am curious to know which version of ubuntu is using for ocropus project - since ubuntu 12.04 has python 2.7.3 installed as default.

Older versions of Mercurial don't have support for nested repositories. You can just manually check out ocropy:

$ hg clone https://code.google.com/p/ocropus.ocropy ocropy

However, OCRopus 0.6 uses lots of features in Python that aren't supported on Ubuntu 8.04.

I'm beginning to see what you mean, Tom. It's looking like the effort of installing a newer version of Python on Ubuntu 8.04 is not all much less than (and perhaps less rewarding than) upgrading to a more recent version of Ubuntu.

And what about to select correct repository[1]?
