[Bug 1619083] Re: [1.1.1] Setup cannot download tesseract file --- fixed 2016-09-10

 

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but when I use this
workaround, Sikuli installation just doesn't start. After pressing Yes
button for a question about downloading Tessetact-ocr or using local
copy, installation just wont continue. Am I doing something wrong?

Title:
  [1.1.1] Setup cannot download tesseract file --- fixed 2016-09-10

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  ************ workaround:

  download from

  http://download.sikulix.com/tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz

  and run an offline setup
  ----------------------------------------------------------

  Version: SikuliX 1.1
  OS: Win 7 64bt, Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

  Actual:
  1. Download the setup file and start the setup with java -jar <setupfile>
  2. in the configuration screen select the 1st option (to install the IDE) and the 3rd option (for tesseract)
  3. keep on clicking yes for each popup

  => the installer crashes because it cannot download the tesseract file

  Without having the actual URL now from the setup log I believe it is
  the same as on the web page http://sikulix.com/specials/files/offline-
  setup.html :

  http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-
  ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz

  The tesseract project is not hosted on googlecode anymore, hence the
  download would end with an HTTP404.

  Expected behavior:
  The tesseract default file (in English) is automatically downloaded.

  Workaround: download the tesseract file before running the setup and
  put the unzipped file next to the setupfile. The setup will
  automatically choose the offline version and not try to download the
  file again. Further, note that this seems only to work fpr tesseract
  3.02.02, but not for the newer 3.04.x version. For that the setup
  routine goes awry.

  N.B. The tesseract file might directly be downloaded via
  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tesseract-ocr-alt/tesseract-
  ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz
