RuntimeError: Unable to start Tika server.

I get the following error:

Not sure what causes this. I checked and I have Java 8 update 221 on Mac OS X El Capitan v10.11.06 installed. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

To get this working in a disconnected environment, I had to download a tika server file and set the TIKA_SERVER_JAR to TIKA_SERVER_JAR="file:///home/user/tika-server.jar" which successfully tricked python-tika to “download” this file and move it to /tmp/tika-server.jar and run as background process. This was the only way I could get this to work without the internet. @ErfPy hope this helps.

Did you check whether you have connected with the internet or not? if yes and still it’s not working then try download manually and run using java -jar <<tika-server.jar>> and if it works then you can set ENV variable TIKA_SERVER_JAR with the path of that jar file.

P.S. make sure you set env variable before you import tika package
