Rails can't locate tesseract directory

[AshIgnYeo]

I'm in a new rails 7 app running webpack. When I try to run

image_path = ActionController::Base.helpers.image_url('receipt.jpg')
image = RTesseract.new(image_path, lang: 'eng')
image.to_s

I keep getting the error

Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - tesseract

even though I have followed all the steps for setup. Any idea how to fix it?
