Php versions – php Tesseract Error! The command "tesseract" was not found

I’m trying and failing to use tesseract php. I get this error:

 Fatal error: Uncaught thiagoalessioTesseractOCRTesseractNotFoundException: Error! The command "tesseract" was not found. Make sure you have Tesseract OCR installed on your system: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract

I’m using windows 10 with xampp installed in C:xampp. php version 7.4
I installed tesseract.exe from https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki both x32 and x64
I used composer to install the https://github.com/thiagoalessio/tesseract-ocr-for-php and it gave no error.

<?php
require_once 'C:UsersPeppevendorautoload.php';  

use thiagoalessioTesseractOCRTesseractOCR;
$ocr = new TesseractOCR("caption.jpg");
$content = $ocr->run();
echo $content;

?>

finally, the caption.jpg is in the htdocs folder, the main folder and same folder as index.php where the aforementioned code appears.

any solutions?

    I found the answer: the $PATH variable is taken from Windows. To set it right search for "system environment variables", click "environment variables", edit PATH and add the tesseract software folder, for example C:Program FilesTesseract-OCR

    In my case I have to add new variable tesseract with full path C:Program FilesTesseract-OCRtesseract.exe as showing in below screenshot

    To install TESSERACT OCR and use it in PHP

    You must perform the following steps:
    (in my explanation, I assume you are on windows)
    url src = https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Installation.html

    1- Download the TESSERACT software from URL:
    https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki

    2- From your composer, you must install:
    url: https://packagist.org/packages/thiagoalessio/tesseract_ocr
    composer require thiagoalessio/tesseract_ocr

    3- Then, it is important to do things in the following order:
    Your TESSERACT software (step 1) is installed in a directory
    which will certainly be (it’s up to you to check in your system)
    folder = C:Program FilesTesseract-OCR

    It is absolutely necessary to add this folder in the windows environment variables at the PATH level (user and system)

    4- Then you restart your web environment (WAMP, LARAGON …)

    5- Verification that TESSERACT is operational.
    Go to your CMD and write:
    tesseract –version

    6- Operation test from a PHP script
    uses an image on a white background with text

    <?php

    $app_class = 'thiagoalessioTesseractOCRTesseractOCR';
    $file = 'C:/Users/admin/Desktop/im2.jpg';
    
    $class = new ReflectionClass($app_class);
    $infoImg = $class->newInstanceArgs();
    $infoImg->lang('eng','jpn','spa','fr');
    $infoImg->image($file);
    $infoImg->withoutTempFiles();
    $resultat = $infoImg->run();
    var_dump($resultat);
?>
