[FIXED] Google colab : How do i install traineddata file for pytesseract?

Issue

After installing pytesseract package using "pip install" on google colab, i needed to install OCR trained data for other country language, however, i do not know where to copy it..

if I install package by myself using "pip install", where is the location of package on my window PC?

Solution

Installing a package on google colab will not install on your local drive which you are using, initiating a colab environment will create a remote drive where you can check out all the project files.

If you want to know for a specific pip package installation path you can always use

!pip show pytesseract-ocr

it will show you Location: of where the package is installed and then you can always add necessary files onto the package installed directory
