Hi

IN this old post- install tesseraact in Rstudio cloud , it mentioned that the tesseract package will be included in r studio cloud. Iam still not able to use it.
Error:
------------------------- ANTICONF ERROR ---------------------------
Configuration failed because tesseract was not found. Try installing:

  • deb: libtesseract-dev libleptonica-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
  • rpm: tesseract-devel leptonica-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
  • csw: libtesseract_dev (Solaris)
  • brew: tesseract (Mac OSX)
    If tesseract is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
    PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a tesseract.pc file. If pkg-config
    is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
    R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

Can anybody help ?

Thanks in advance

Regards
Gayathri

Hello

Yesterday RStudio Cloud was updated so new projects will use Ubuntu 20.04. This update fixes the issues with installing the 'tesseract' package. If you create a new project and try again, you should have better luck. (Note: existing projects will still use Ubuntu 16.04 so you will need to create a new project to see this.)

thanks
sam
