Unable to start Tika server #402

Closed kevin-guimard-ext closed 1 year ago

kevin-guimard-ext commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I installed tika but calling the parser would systematically trigger the following error:

RuntimeError: Unable to start Tika server.

So, I downloaded tika-server.jar and added an environment variable pointing to it as explained in the readme page, but it didn't work either.

Tika-Python should start on its own. My guess is that you should look at the file you downloaded (I am guessing it's not a JAR file). Try doing cat <file>. Once you get the actual jar file this should work fine.
