Pytesseract project setup: How do I get the package install location?

Hello, I'm struggling with making a discord bot using Pytesseract, I got it running but I don't know how to get the installation path of the tesseract to fix the message: /app/.apt/usr/bin/tesseract is not installed or it's not in your PATH. See README file for more information.. I read in an overflow question how to deploy using pytesseract but the instructions are from Heroku, the answer tells me to: - Add a build pack. ✅ https://discord.com/channels/713503345364697088/1139391639232712734 - Create an Aptfile. ✅ - Find the tessdata folder to set the variable. ❔ link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56457594 What I've tried: - Run bash with railway. (only runs locally) - Tried to create a docker to see if I can get a path or some clue. Project ID: bf07da5c-d35e-4b6d-a262-c39207f4488c nixpacks.toml

Solution:

shouldn't pytesseract be able to find that out for itself? but you are giving it an incorrect path https://github.com/HenriqueFLTorres/Mir4Tools-Bot/blob/main/utils.py#L5...

Sorry for being late. Surprisingly, that was the solution! Thank you! Different from the Heroku deploy instructions, pytesseract can run without any path given. So I even had to remove the environment variable TESSDATA_PREFIX.
