How to install tesseract for python on anaconda

Does anyone know how to install tesseract for python on Anaconda? I have a windows system. The anaconda website gives the installation for a linux system:

To install this package with conda on Windows run one of the following:

conda install -c simonflueckiger tesserocr 
conda install -c simonflueckiger/label/tesseract-4.0.0-master tesserocr

Answer 4

For those who want to install tesseract on MacBook/OSX, use conda-forge channel:

conda install -c conda-forge tesseract

To import it via pytesseract you will have to install pytesseract as well:

conda install -c conda-forge pytesseract

And use it like:

import pytesseract
import cv2 # For loading image

img = cv2.imread('read_my_doc_image.jpg')
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(
    img, config='-l eng --oem 1 --psm 6'
)
print(text)
