Problem is "Unicharset_extractor" not install in your system. So please install tesseract training tools

INSTALL TRAINING TOOL

brew install --with-training-tools tesseract

Please uninstall tesseract if you already installed it.

UNINSTALL TESSERACT

brew uninstall tesseract

NOTE: please read logs while install training tools and follow the steps which mentioned in logs.

It’ll take some more time to install the training tool so you’ll never quiet the terminal meantime.

Please install Homebrew before work out above command.

Thank you for posting this. I'd gotten close to getting the training to work, but your answer got me over the finish line. For anyone else on a Mac, I used http://vietocr.sourceforge.net/training.html and this answer to create a custom `traineddata` file. – Adrian Dec 22 '16 at 14:37
I'm attempting to train for multiple formats of a font family (bold, italic, narrow, etc.). So far, I've only been able to figure out how to train one using jTessBoxEditorFX. Any suggestions? – Adrian Dec 22 '16 at 20:26

This command does not work after Feb, 2019. You have to git clone tesseract and compile it all by yourself. – Zhang Buzz Nov 06 '19 at 05:56

You will need to build Tesseract training executables; they are separate from the regular Tesseract executable.
