obsidian can't use tesseract and imagemagick

[Neptune10000]

Hi,

I am trying to use obsidian-ocr on my obsidian. I am using MacOS. So I installed "tesseract", "tesseract-lang" and "imagemagick" as you suggested. But it seems obsidian can't recognize that the dependencies had installed. and when i trying to open"ORC PDF" or change "ORC provider" to tesseract. It gives following error.

Would you help me with this issue?

So here are some details.
my system is macOS 12.2.1
obsidian version is 1.3.5
obsidian-ocr with the newest version 2.0.0

I installed the following dependencies on these location:

I wrote these path in /private/etc/paths:

And I tried to write paths in ~/.bash_profile:

These tools can be used in the command line. But it seems obsidian can't recognize them. Would you help me to find out where the error is?
Thank you for your help~

Sure let's find out what's wrong 😃
The best way for me to know what's going wrong is with a log file.
Could you please do the following:

• Go to the settings page for obsidian-ocr in Obsidian
• Enable the setting Log to file
• Perform the same steps you did to get the messages in the first image
• Close Obsidian
• You should now be able to find a log file called obsidian-ocr.log in your vault
• Paste the content into a text-sharing page, preferably a GitHub gist and send me the link

Thanks, that log looks good. Just so I get this right, you installed tesseract and imagemagick through homebrew?

I'm also getting the same messages after doing the same things as OP. This is what the developer console looks like:

And yes, I installed tesseract and imagemagick through homebrew

Here is a link to a gist with my log info from when I did those actions:

Hmm, interesting.
Could you check if the folder "/opt/homebrew/bin" exists on your system?

[AmalLuke]

I have the same issue, seems like "/opt/homebrew/bin" is for new Macs, M1. and above Old Intel Macs use 'usr/local/.." that could be the issue, but I am not sure. I tried several times, and also .zshrc ,~/.zprofile sometime you have to add paths to both. So if any solution is found, it would be great to know.

@MohrJonas It does not exist on my system. Homebrew is located in /usr/local/bin/brew

[MohrJonas]

I see may I ask if it's an m1 based machine?

[joshuadanpeterson]

it's not. It's a 2019 intel macbook pro

[MohrJonas]

Oh okay, so that might be the issue. I assume you can run tesseract from the command line? If so can you check where the binary is located? (I assume which tesseract works on MacOS as well?)

[joshuadanpeterson]

It's located at /usr/local/bin/tesseract

@MohrJonas I have a Mac on which I can try to duplicate this. @Neptune10000 and @joshuadanpeterson if I can't replicate can I reach out to y'all directly?

Yes, that's fine
