I have downloaded the program jq-win64.exe from 'https://stedolan.github.io/jq/' and installed the program in a folder C:\Program Files\jq\ on my computer.
I have also added the PATH to the program to the end of the systemvariable string in Windows 10 : . . . ;C:\Program Files\curl\;C:\Program Files\jq\
In one terminal window in Visual Studio Code I am running a server.
In another terminal window I am trying to execute the command curl -s localhost:3000 | jq
Terminal window 1:
C:\Users\SteinarV\PROFF_JAVASCRIPT\PROJECT\smartHouse
node server.js
API running on port 3000
Terminal window 2:
C:\Users\SteinarV\PROFF_JAVASCRIPT\PROJECT\smartHouse>curl -s localhost:3000 | jq
'jq' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file
... and do not understand why jq is not recognized.
Can someone help ?
I have downloaded the program jq-win64.exe from 'https://stedolan.github.io/jq/' and installed the program in a folder C:\Program Files\jq\ on my computer.
As you have indicated, you have a file called jq-win64.exe but you are trying to execute the command jq. You either need to rename the file to jq.exe or you need to use the command jq-win64.
For a detailed explanation of how Windows finds and executes a program in your path when you enter a command, see The Windows NT Command Shell: Command Search Sequence. Specifically:
...The shell now searches each directory specified by the PATH environment variable, in the order listed, for an executable file matching the command name. If a match is found, the external command (the executable file) executes...
...If the command name does not include a file extension, the shell adds the extensions listed in the PATHEXT environment variable, one by one, and searches the directory for that file name. Note that the shell tries all possible file extensions in a specific directory before moving on to search the next directory (if there is one)...
You indicate in the comments the same error persists even when the filenames match. Note that each running program has its own set of environment variables, and these aren't updated by global changes. You need to close and reopen cmd.exe windows after making a global change. See also Adding directory to path environment variable in windows. You can use the path command to verify whether a particular terminal session has inherited the PATH variable you defined, thus narrowing your problem.
You indicate that the problem still persists. You need to use the tools available to you to narrow it down further:
Try running the program with its full path:
"C:\Program Files\jq\jq-win64.exe" --help
This will confirm that the program is present where you think it is and can be run from the terminal.
Try running the program with no path and its extension:
jq-win64.exe --help
If this works but running the program without an extension doesn't, you might have set PATHEXT to something that doesn't include ".EXE".
Try setting the path explicitly in the terminal to contain only the program directory and nothing else, then run it with its full extension:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\jq
jq-win64.exe --help
(Note that after this test you'll need to close the terminal window and start a new one to reset the path.)
If this works, perhaps you have a mismatch in your path.
I am writing a code in tcl using windows. When I try to create a folder using this command
set FileName "GVOutPut";
file mkdir $FileName;
i get this error:
can't create directory "GVOutPut": permission denied
while executing
"file mkdir $FileName"
how could i solve this problem?
You should check that the current directory (puts [pwd]) is the directory where you expect the new directory to be created in instead of being somewhere where normal users can't write by default. It is very easy for that to be different in a GUI program than for a text program; the defaults vary (due to the different ways that they're launched by the OS). It often pays to use full pathnames in your programs, or to make things all relative to a known location. You can use the cd command to set the current directory.
Alternatively, launch the program from an elevated shell. But you probably don't want that option as it has a lot of non-trivial consequences.
i am new to laravel i just figured out how to install composer laravel etc etc on my local machine MAMP on windows , Now i am confuse with the command on terminal which is
C:\project>mysql -uroot -proot
'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How can i fix this ?
setting Environment will solve the issue
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click - Environment Variables
Go to- System Variables find PATH and click on it.
add the path to your mysql\bin folder to the end paths. (ex: E:\xampp\mysql\bin) and add ; end of the line
Close all the command prompts you opens.
Re open and try it.
Setting the PATH to point to the MYSQL bin folder is normally the first thought, but I find that dangerous as things get left lying around when you change software.
I normally create a little batch file in the projects folder or in a folder that it already on your PATH, like this
mysqlpath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\mysql\bin;%PATH%
mysql -v
The mysql -v will output the mysql version number but it is a handy way of knowing that the correct folder has been added to the PATH. This adds the folder to the PATH but only for the life of the command window.
Then just run this from any command window when you want to use MYSQL from the command line
> phppath
You may also like to create one for PHP as well
phppath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\php\;%PATH%
php -v
I have a problem with running tesseract-ocr engine on linux. I've downloaded RUS language data and put it to tessdata directory (/usr/local/share/tessdata). When I'm trying to run tesseract with command tesseract blob.jpg out -l rus , it displays an error:
Error opening data file /usr/local/share/tessdata/eng.traineddata
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.
Failed loading language eng
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
Could not initialize tesseract.
According to compiling guide, I used export TESSDATA_PREFIX='/usr/local/share/'
to point my tessdata directory.
Maybe I should edit any config files? Tesseract try to load 'eng' data files instead of 'rus'.
Screenshot:

You can grab eng.traineddata Github:
wget https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/raw/main/eng.traineddata
Check https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata for a full list of trained language data.
When you grab the file(s), move them to the /usr/local/share/tessdata folder. Warning: some Linux distributions (such as openSUSE and Ubuntu) may be expecting it in /usr/share/tessdata instead.
# If you got the data from Google, unzip it first!
gunzip eng.traineddata.gz
# Move the data
sudo mv -v eng.traineddata /usr/local/share/tessdata/
The simpliest way is to install the needed package:
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-eng #for english
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-tam #for tamil
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-deu #for deutsch (German)
As you can notice, it opens the road to others languages (i.e. tesseract-ocr-fra).
I had this error too on the Windows machine.
My solution.
1) Download your language files from
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/tree/3.04.00
For example, for eng, I downloaded all files with eng prefix.
2) Put them into tessdata directory inside of some folder. Add this folder into System Path variables as TESSDATA_PREFIX.
Result will be
System env var: TESSDATA_PREFIX=D:/Java/OCR
And OCR folder has tessdata with languages files.
This is a screenshot of the directory:
No previous solution worked for me.
I've installed both by apt-get and manually downloading the tessdata, moved around /usr and so on and no one worked even if i exported the variable thousand times.
Finally, on a last try before start to cry i've tried to pass the path directly to the instance of Tesseract().
In Python: tr = Tesseract("/usr/local/share/tesseract-ocr/") and now it works. To clarify, im using tesserwrap module.
For Windows Users:
In Environment Variables, add a new variable in system variable with name "TESSDATA_PREFIX" and value is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata"
tesseract --tessdata-dir <tessdata-folder> <image-path> stdout --oem 2 -l <lng>
In my case, the mistakes that I've made or attempts that wasn't a success.
I cloned the github repo and copied files from there to
/usr/local/share/tessdata/
/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/
/usr/share/tessdata/
Used TESSDATA_PREFIX with above paths
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-eng
First 2 attempts did not worked because, the files from git clone did not worked for the reasons that I do not know. I am not sure why #3 attempt worked for me.
Finally,
I downloaded the eng.traindata file using wget
Copied it to some directory
Used --tessdata-dir with directory name
Take away for me is to learn the tool well & make use of it, rather than relying on package manager installation & directories
For me the problem was in how I downloaded the train data files. Make sure you get the raw link.
Initially I was using:
wget https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best/blob/master/eng.traineddata
When I changed it to:
wget https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best/raw/master/eng.traineddata
It worked
For Ubuntu just run the below command and the Environment variable error will disappear.
command:
export TESSDATA_PREFIX=Path_of_your_tessdata_folder
Command Example:
export TESSDATA_PREFIX=/home/amar/Desktop/OCR/tesseract-4.1.1/tessdata
This command will set the tessdata folder's path to the environment variable with name TESSDATA_PREFIX and the above error will be resolved.
You can call tesseract API function from C code:
#include <tesseract/baseapi.h>
#include <tesseract/ocrclass.h>; // ETEXT_DESC
using namespace tesseract;
class TessAPI : public TessBaseAPI {
public:
void PrintRects(int len);
};
...
TessAPI *api = new TessAPI();
int res = api->Init(NULL, "rus");
api->SetAccuracyVSpeed(AVS_MOST_ACCURATE);
api->SetImage(data, w0, h0, bpp, stride);
api->SetRectangle(x0,y0,w0,h0);
char *text;
ETEXT_DESC monitor;
api->RecognizeForChopTest(&monitor);
text = api->GetUTF8Text();
printf("text: %s\n", text);
printf("m.count: %s\n", monitor.count);
printf("m.progress: %s\n", monitor.progress);
api->RecognizeForChopTest(&monitor);
text = api->GetUTF8Text();
printf("text: %s\n", text);
...
api->End();
And build this code:
g++ -g -I. -I/usr/local/include -o _test test.cpp -ltesseract_api -lfreeimageplus
(i need FreeImage for picture loading)
I'm using windows OS, I tried all solutions above and none of them work.
Finally, I install Tesseract-OCR on D drive(Where I run my python script from) instead of C drive and it works.
So, if you are using windows, run your python script in the same drive as your Tesseract-OCR.
In Google Colab I resolved the issue in this way:
!sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-*
Because if you use this command !sudo apt install tesseract-ocr then it imports 2 languages but when you intend to work on non-English languages then the former command works.
Afterwards, use this command !pip install pytesseract
You can also check languages in this way !tesseract --list-langs
I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.
I solved this problem by making a directory called tessdata in the Debug directory of my project. Then I put the eng.traineddata file into said directory.
C# developer working on Windows here. What works for me is simply download the file eng.traineddata from the following URL:
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/blob/master/eng.traineddata
and copy it to the following directory in my Console Application project:
[Project Directory]\bin\Debug\tessdata
I did manually create the tessdata folder above.
tessdata_dir_config = r'--tessdata-dir "/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/4.1.1/share/tessdata"'
pytesseract.image_to_string(imgCrop,lang='eng',config=tessdata_dir_config)
Add this to your code :
instance.setDatapath("C:\\somepath\\tessdata");
instance.setLanguage("eng");
How I solved the problem in my Manjaro Xfce:
Message “TesseractError: (1, 'Error opening data file /home/julio/snap/tesseract/common/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.')”
Then, in my Manjaro, I typed: sudo pacman -S tesseract
Then the system installed both the “tesseract” and also a package name “leptonica”
After this step, I thought everything was ok, and tried to run my simple script. However, the error message changed to something like this (it changed the previous “/home” location to other “/usr”-like location):
“"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.')"”
Then I realized that there had appeared this message when I installed “tesseract” with pacman: “You must install one of tesseract-data-* packages or whole tesseract-data group”
So, I tried the command: “sudo pacman -S tesseract-data”, and the system presented lots of language options to me. So I’ve chosen some languages, installed as follows, and the module started to work like a charm:
sudo pacman -S tesseract-data-eng
sudo pacman -S tesseract-data-por
sudo pacman -S tesseract-data-fra
sudo pacman -S tesseract-data-spa
I tried some portuguese special characters (like "ão"), that only worked when I used the argument "lang='por'" in the pytesseract.image_to_string(img,lang='por')
As of 2021, My solution for Ubuntu is to download the zip files from https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best/releases/tag/4.1.0, extract and copy the neccessary .traineddata files into /usr/local/share/tessdata. This is the default folder for tesseract 4.1.1 to search for trained data.
I had the same problem with DEU language on macOS. I could solve it by installing all additional languages like so:
brew install tesseract-lang
as suggested on https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/tesseract
**IF you have windows OS then please add your TesseractOCR to system variable.
Eg..
Find the path where Tesseract is installed in your c drive (in my case r"C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe")**
2)make sure you have the required files ie tessdata, tessdata if not then download it from https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata (At least those languages which you want to convert)
past it into the main directory in my case C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR
4)Add the path of the directory to your system environment variable
for that
search environment variable in start bar
go to environment variable
click path in your system environment variable (NOT IN USER ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE)
past the path of tesseractocr
thats all...
In the Terminal prompt, I have to type in $ PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH to run MySQL commands.
Where do I need to save this path in the MySQL files, such that I don't need to type in this path every time I enter into the terminal path. What file, and where should I type this in?
Thank you.
Where can I find the .bashrc file? when I do a cd ~, then ls -a, it does not show up (although I do see a .bash_history.)
You don't have to save $PATH in mysql, you need to save it in your .profile or .bashrc (substitute for your own shell if not Bash) files, found in your home directory.
You have files like these without the dot in frontne in /etc, but they're the system wide ones (they are the default to all users). You should have a file .bashrc or .profile (or you could create them if they don't exist) in your /home/David542 directory (with your own username, of course).
Caveat: depending on your system, you could be using a shell different from bash, so you'd have to create a different dot file (.kshrc, .cshrc, .shrc, etc).
.bashrc in your home directory
