1. Getting Started

1.1. Installation

Since tesseract is very alpha I have not uploaded releases yet to pip so the easiest way get it is to clone out the repo and run off the stable master branch. You can view the Changelog.

git clone https://github.com/elliotchance/tesseract.git

1.2. Running the Server

You must have Redis running locally on the standard port. If not, run:

redis-server &

Then start the tesseract server. It’s not wise to run it in the background so you can pay attention to errors and crashes during this wonderful time of alpha.

bin/tesseract

Remember that if you pull the latest changes for tesseract you will have to restart the server for those changes to take effect. Simply CTRL+C and run the command above again.
