How to install current version of tesseract on Ubuntu 16.04.6

[Alexander Dietz]

How do I install a current version of tesseract on Ubuntu 16.04.6? I did

    sudo apt install tesseract-ocr

    sudo apt upgrade tesseract-ocr

but it still seems to be version (3.04.01-4, also it says

    tesseract-ocr is already the newest version (3.04.01-4).

If you are on Ubuntu, use Alex's ppa.

The link should be on the tessdoc documentation page that I had referred to earlier.

Thank you,

that seem to have worked finally.

Maybe you can include that procedure on the tesseract documentation page HERE?

Maybe you can add repo:

add-apt-repository 'deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe'

[Juanjo Serrano Lloria]

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe'

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr

or 

sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-all  (with all language packages)
