Hello, this extension and the tools it offers are amazing. However the installation documentation is not enough detailed for private wikis administrators, quite often not advanced users, able to work on server configuration etc.. E.g. the guide provided here for the ocr tool should be improved with the specification of the apache and php directives to change, and possible issues that could come up during installation.

Hope someone could improve the documentation! I am available to translate it and collaborate but I don't have skills to write it down.

I'll try to help improve it. :-)

Have you had specific problems with installing it? It does have the Apache and PHP config that's required, although that is all specifically for the Wikimedia installation of the tool, you're right that a more general installation doc would be good.

yes, I completely misunderstood the documentation and used it to install the tool in my own wiki (causing also some issues with the wikimedia one). Adding comments where it’s very likely that a different configuration is needed for non Wikimedia users, could be a good starting point ;)
