Coro can scan image files when performing sensitive data scans on macOS endpoint devices. To do so, ensure that Tesseract is installed on those devices.

To install Tesseract on a macOS device:

  1. Install Homebrew.
  2. Execute the following commands from the terminal: 
    echo "export HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALLED_DEPENDENTS_CHECK=1" >> $HOME/.zprofile
    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/b5241b4bb5095fd62457223c4fb32a56f882ef48/Formula/tesseract.rb
    brew install --formula ./tesseract.rb
    brew pin tesseract
  3. Execute the following cleanup command (optional) from the terminal: 
    rm tesseract.rb
