They lost me when they suggested I install docker.
Now, I wouldn't mind if they suggested that as an _option_ for people whose system might exhibit compatibility problems, but - come on! How lazy can you get? You can't be bothered to cater to anything other than your own development environment, which you want us to reproduce? Then maybe call yourself "OCR4me", not "OCR4all".

Genuine question: What would the ideal docker-free solution look like in your opinion? That is, something that is accessible to the average university student, researcher, and faculty member? What installation tool/package manager would this hypothetical common user use? How many hoops would they have to jump through? The hub page lists the various dependencies [0], which on their own are pretty complicated packages.
