Users installing on Linux machines may see:

Error opening data file /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/eng.traineddata
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.
Failed loading language 'eng'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!

This is easily solved by first installing tesseract-ocr and related language packs (via apt-get or whatever).
