TesseractNotFoundError: tesseract is not installed or it's not in your PATH. See README file for more information. in databricks

To install Tesseract on your Databricks cluster, you can use the following command
%sh apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr
After installing Tesseract, you need to add the path to the Tesseract executable file to your PATH environment variable. To do this, you can run the following command in a Databricks notebook:
%sh echo 'export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
This command adds the path to the Tesseract executable file to your PATH environment variable and makes it accessible to your Databricks notebook.
Check if Tesseract OCR is installed on your Databricks cluster. You can do this by running the following command in a Databricks notebook:
%sh which tesseract
After following these steps, you should be able to use pytesseract in your Databricks notebook without encountering the "TesseractNotFoundError" error.

%sh apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr this command is not working in my new Databricks free trail account, earlier it worked fine in my old Databricks instance. I get below error: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root? I have installed pytesseract and tesseract both from libraries section of cluster as well as from pip install command in the notebook, but even after doing all the steps i get TesseractNotFoundError Please let me know if anyone can help me

Hi @neha_ayodhya, In Databricks, you might not have the necessary permissions to run the apt-get install command.
However, you can try the following steps to resolve the TesseractNotFoundError:
%sh apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr
%sh echo 'export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
%sh which tesseract
Here are the commands you can use in the init script:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get install -y libtesseract-dev /databricks/python/bin/pip install pytesseract
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
