# `mix tesseract_js.install_assets`
[🔗](https://github.com/alexdont/tesseract_js/blob/v0.1.0/lib/mix/tasks/tesseract_js.install_assets.ex#L1)

Copies the package's bundled JS files (`tesseract.min.js`, `worker.min.js`,
`tesseract_js.umd.js`) into your app's `priv/static/assets/vendor/tesseract/`,
so Phoenix's static plug can serve them at the paths the HEEx components emit.

Run this once after adding `tesseract_js` to your deps:

    mix deps.get
    mix tesseract_js.install_assets

## When to re-run

Re-run after upgrading the `tesseract_js` package — the bundled
`tesseract.min.js`, `worker.min.js`, or the wrapper UMD may have changed.

## Options

  * `--out` — output dir (defaults to `priv/static/assets/vendor/tesseract`).
  * `--force` — overwrite existing files even if identical.

## Why a copy step?

Phoenix only serves files from the host app's `priv/static/` — dependencies'
`priv/static/` directories aren't auto-mounted. Copying is the simplest,
most explicit way to surface the files without endpoint config changes.
