TesseractError - TESSDATA_PREFIX

[oliveskur]

I got following error:
TesseractError: (1, 'Error opening data file /root/tessdata/eng.traineddata Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to your "tessdata" directory. Failed loading language 'eng' Tesseract couldn't load any languages! Could not initialize tesseract.')

I checked - /root/tessdata/eng.traineddata is exists. I also added TESSDATA_PREFIX to environment variables but no luck.

You can change the tessdata path in constants.py or

mkdir -p ~/tessdata
cp /root/tessdata/eng.traineddata ~/tessdata/

It's hardcoded in there so setting environment variable has no effect.
