Extract text from image using pytesseract

Question

I want to extract text from the following image using Python :

I tried with below codes but it's throwing an error:

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image
img=Image.open(r'gif file path')
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Tesseract- 
OCR/tesseract'

r=pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
print(r)

And 

from PIL import Image
from pytesseract import image_to_string
img=Image.open('gif file path')
text=image_to_string(img)
print(text)

Error:

TesseractNotFoundError.

Please help any way to get the text using Python .

Note: pytesseract is already installed.

Answer 1

One thing is to have the library pytesseract installed, and other one is to have Tesseract installed.

If you are in Linux try:

sudo apt install libtesseract-dev tesseract-ocr
