#Requirements Ensure that the GD library is enabled in your PHP installation. You can usually enable it by uncommenting or adding the following line in your php.ini file: extension=gd extension=imagick

Before you can use Imagick in PHP, you need to ensure that the Imagick extension is installed and enabled on your server. If Imagick is not already installed, you can typically install it using package managers like apt (for Debian-based systems) or yum (for CentOS/RHEL-based systems). For example, on Ubuntu, you can install Imagick using the following command:

sudo apt-get install -y php-imagick

#Installation linux bash sudo apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr sudo apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr-script-arab sudo apt-get install -y pdftoppm sudo apt-get install -y ghostscript sudo apt-get install -y poppler-utils sudo apt-get install imagemagick after you install tesseract run bash export TESSDATA_PREFIX=/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata #Installation windows bash https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki after you install tesseract run bash set TESSDATA_PREFIX=C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata #Check

#Usage to extract emirates id details

use Vmbcarabbacan\TeseractOcr\TesseractOcr;

#file can be jpg, png or pdf
$path = 'path/id/test.jpg'

$tesseract = new TesseractOcr();
return $tesseract->setpath($path)->emiratesId()->lang('Arabic')->generateFile();

#returns emirates id, name, dob and extracted string
