Install Manager

In order for advanced features such as AGL, OCR and Text Converter to work in Astera, different packages are required to be installed, such as Python, Java etc. To avoid the tedious process of separately installing these, Astera provides a built in Install Manager in your tool.

There are two types of packages which are required to be installed:

• Prerequisites for Python Server: This package is required to be installed on server machine only.

• Prerequisites for ReportMiner: This package is required to be installed on client and server machine.

Note: If the server and client are on same machine, then ReportMiner packages need to be installed once only.

The packages being installed for AGL are listed as follows:

• Java 17 is installed

  • ​ Tabula-py

  • ​ Tabulate

  • ​ spaCy

  • ​ NLP
