json.exception.parse_error.101

I am trying to install tesseract according to https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdoc/blob/main/Compiling.md#windows:

Build the latest library (using Software Network client)

1. Download the latest SW (Software Network https://software-network.org/) client from https://software-network.org/client/.
2. Run sw setup (may require administrator access)
3. Run sw build org.sw.demo.google.tesseract.tesseract-master.

When I run "sw setup" I get this error:

sw setup [json.exception.parse_error.101] parse error at line 1, column 1: syntax error while parsing value - unexpected end of input; expected '[', '{', or a literal

I did run it as Administrator.

I am running this inside a virtual machine (Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1) when I get this error. When I run "sw setup" inside my host OS (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 19044)) I do not get this error.

I do not need help with this as I was able to get tesseract installed bypassing the need for sw by using this binary

But I met this problem too, I need to compile my own tesseract, could anyone give some help? sad ……

Hi,

I've fixed tess doc page. Use this command instead

sw build org.sw.demo.google.tesseract.tesseract

(without -master).

It will build tess5.2

@egorpugin
I think the problem happens when I execute build command see
