Okay Yeah sorry I have ofund the solution I wasn’t able to set up the needed library cause I did not update my kali first T , T :

Set up Library
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev zlib1g-dev sudo apt-get install gcc g++ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool checkinstall

Set up the image processing toolkit Leptonica to compile Tesseract :
wget http://www.leptonica.org/source/leptonica-1.7.tar.gz tar -zxvf leptonica-1.69.tar.gz cd leptonica-1.7 ./configure make sudo checkinstall sudo ldconfig

Compile and install tesseract :
wget https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-ocr-3.XX.tar.gz tar -zxvf tesseract-ocr-3.XX.tar.gz cd tesseract-ocr ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig

Then install the needed data languages package : ]
