In other words what do I put in here, FME Cloud is a linux box so I dont think it will be an exe.

 

Many Thanks for the help in advance!

    FME Cloud (or FME flow hosted) runs on ubuntu, so you would have to install it on that machine. The command for installing tessaract on ubuntu is: sudo apt install tesseract-ocr

    There are many caveats for installing this software in the cloud. firstly it installs natively on the processing pod, this machine is just a temporary machine, and does not support mutating installations over a longer period of time, since it can be swapped.

     

    You have permantantly storage in your resource folder, if you were able to install it there I believe you should be able to run it safely. But then you must remember to call the full path of the binary since it not in any system directory.
