Great guide, except I had to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig before being able to ./configure tesseract, and I used curl instead of wget because I'm using Amazon Linux Minimal

Great guide, thanks!

had to run autoreconf --force --install before step 16 because was getting "Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.4.6," error

Also, url on line 22 is now https://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr-alt/files/tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz

in my linux ami till not install tesseract please help. I am doing some step

@Sudarshan-gurav
Now we have better option. It's docker container. See https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/4.0-Docker-Containers for more details

My amazon linux machine didn't have C++ complier by default in order to compile tesseract. Solved by installing additional libraries available in AWS:

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

line 24:
sudo wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr-alt/files/tesseract-ocr-3.01.osd.tar.gz/download

Followed by:
mv download tesseract-ocr-3.01.osd.tar.gz

No package aclocal available. on Amazon Linux 2
