If you are running another OS than Linux, you will need a few extra dependencies.

For MacOS users, you can install them using Homebrew as follows:

For Windows users, those dependencies are included in GTK. You can find the latest installer over here.

Via Python Package#

Install the last stable release of the package using pip:

pip install python-doctr

We strive towards reducing framework-specific dependencies to a minimum, but some necessary features are developed by third-parties for specific frameworks. To avoid missing some dependencies for a specific framework, you can install specific builds as follows:

pip install "python-doctr[tf]"

Via Git#

Install the library in developer mode:

git clone https://github.com/mindee/doctr.git
pip install -e doctr/.[tf]
