I’m very new to Julia.  
Trying to read text from an image.  
Using OCReract, tried the suggested code.

```julia
begin
using Images
using ImageMagick
using OCReract
img_path = "Q:\\Julia\\20.jpg"; #small jpg with just the text "20" (no quotes)
img = Images.load(img_path);  
run_tesseract(img, psm=3, oem=1);
end

```

Gives an error in the PowerShell window:

```julia
Error: Error ocurred while running Tesseract! Base.IOError("could not spawn `tesseract '%temp%\\jl_hiMWotDCCe.png' '%temp%\\jl_zF2TaOBbHP.txt' --oem 1 --psm 3`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)", -4058)
@ OCReract %userprofile%\.julia\packages\OCReract\vBTZj\src\tesseract.jl:122

```

And an error in the browser:

```julia
SystemError: opening file "%temp%\\jl_zF2TaOBbHP.txt": No such file or directory

```

Julia can read and write to disk, and all the folders exist.  
What have I forgotten to do?  
Thanks,
