I downloaded it as you suggested, and as the terminal output below shows, the file is now present at the correct place :
$file /home/mbalambala/tesseract/tessdata/eng.traineddata /home/mbalambala/tesseract/tessdata/eng.traineddata : HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines $ echo TESSDATA_PREFIX /home/mbalambala/tesseract/tessdata but the error message stays exactly the same : $ tesseract Downloads/p1.pdf p1 Error opening data file /home/mbalambala/tesseract/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. Whatever the real problem is, the error message is not detecting it.
