FileNotFoundError with poppler_path

[HannaHUp]

I have installed Poppler Release-23.11.0-0 and here is my code

!pip install pdf2image
!pip install poppler-utils

pdf_path = "/home/compressed.pdf"
images = convert_from_path(pdf_path,
                           poppler_path="/home/Release-23.11.0-0/poppler-23.11.0/Library/bin")

I still got this FileNotFoundError
