tesseract is required for pytesseract

brew install tesseract

If this doesn't work. Instead, one can try downloading tesseract directly from https://pypi.org/project/pytesseract/#files. If there are still issues, it is likely because tesseract isn’t in your PATH. One way to resolve this is to change the “tesseract_cmd” variable. This can be done in the OCREngine file, where there is a commented out line with "pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd =". Simply change this to wherever Tesseract OCR is installed on your system.
