如何安装python-poppler

Question

I downloaded poppler from https://github.com/oschwartz10612/poppler-windows/releases/tag/v21.03.0 and tried to install it with pip install python-poppler in Command Prompt. It caught error:

  Running setup.py clean for python-poppler
Failed to build python-poppler
Installing collected packages: python-poppler
    Running setup.py install for python-poppler ... error

I have extracted the python poppler zip file and put it in the current path, however click on the folder doesn't get it to install, how do I install it? The folder looks like below:

---

Edit:

I tried running

import pdf2image
from pdf2image import convert_from_path

and it caught error:

PDFInfoNotInstalledError: Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH?

Answer 1

This might help you:

os.environ["PATH"] = r"{'path'}\poppler-21.11.0\Library\bin"

Include this line by replacing the path in your code.
