1 - I downloaded tesdata on the git hub https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata
2 - Extract the folder and passed the path to the Tesseract class
3 - When running the application the following error is displayed

Note: When I change the path from tesdata to the OS installation path (private final String tesseractPath = "/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata/";) I can do it perfectly. It just doesn't work if I point to the tesdata downloaded from the git hub.
What am I doing wrong? When downloaded from github do you need to do any more configuration?
You've probably used incompatible language data. For the current Tesseract verion, use tessdata_best or tessdata_fast, which comes with Linux distros. (You can verify by checking the file size.)
