tesseract installed but cannot be found in cmd console (win7)

[Randy Welt]

Hi I just installed tesseract from a prebuilt binary package on win7:

I choose Tesseract at UB mannheim vers 4.00

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki

Installation is fine, path as follows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR

However when I enter tesseract --version or tesseract.exe -v  in  the cmd prompt,

it says command not found.

do I have to set a PATH environment variable? 

Please help me. I have no idea how to do this in Windows.

You also have to set

Variable: TESSDATA_PREFIX

Value: (Your tessdata path)

You also need to add the location of tesseract binaries to PATH.
