PremissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied about pytesseract HOT 12 CLOSED

Your error is on this line:
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = '/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/3.05.01/'

You should point the tesseract_cmd to the exact path of the tesseract executable and not to the path of the folder where the tesseract executable is located, which is what you did.

Try this line instead:
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = '/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/3.05.01/tesseract'

Also be sure that you have the tesseract executable inside the folder.

from pytesseract.

@diyali03 You can try to issue the following command in order to locate the path of tesseract:
which tesseract

from pytesseract.

Please type "Which Tesseract" in the terminal which will provide the path of Tesseract executable. This resolved my error !

from pytesseract.

Please reopen if you still have the issue.

Thanks.
But the problem is that I build tesseract from Homebrew,
I check the dir and it shows that :

$  ls
AUTHORS			LICENSE			include
COPYING			NEWS			lib
ChangeLog		README.md		share
INSTALL_RECEIPT.json	bin
$ cd ..
$ ls
3.05.01
$ cd ..
$ ls
tesseract

Also, I try to set the path on:
/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract
or
/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/3.05.01/share
But it did work.

from pytesseract.

May be I should try set the path to bin?
