Understanding ocropy installation

[hendk]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a project and need to use ocropy, I tried to install it on windows but failed, so I moved to Ubuntu. I'm not a nerdy when it comes to Ubuntu, so I'm stuck now.

I have installed python 2.7 on Ubuntu and all the requirements 1 and 2, also I've installed opencv.

Then I tried to install ocropy as written in the read-me but failed at this line:
mv en-default.pyrnn.gz models/

I actually don't understand it, because its previous line gets a .gz then we want to move it to a model directory (which is not created yet!) then we need to run setup.py which is not their. So I don't know if I'm missing something, I know I might sound so ignorant to some of you but I'm really new to this and I'm doing my best to understand, I also didn't find any helpful information on the net regarding my issue.

Any help is appreciated, Thank you in advance.

The first thing which you have to do is to clone (copy) all files from github to your local machine, i.e.

$ git clone https://github.com/tmbdev/ocropy.git

This will create the directory models and the script setup.py and also the PACKAGES list.
