node node-tesseract-ocr in windows : Error: node:events ... write EOF

I run a node script on windows 11 and I am usig node-tesseract-ocr for reading text content of a png file

const tesseract = require("node-tesseract-ocr");
const fs = require("fs/promises");

async function main() {
  const img = await fs.readFile("buddy-screenshot.png");
  const text = await tesseract.recognize(img);

  console.log("Result:", text);
}

main();

It displays me an error :

    node:events:371
  throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
  ^

Error: write EOF
    at WriteWrap.onWriteComplete [as oncomplete] (node:internal/stream_base_commons:98:16)
Emitted 'error' event on Socket instance at:
    at emitErrorNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:157:8)
    at emitErrorCloseNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:122:3)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:83:21) {
  errno: -4095,
  code: 'EOF',
  syscall: 'write'
}

Do you know what happens and how make it works?

Make sure you've installed Tesseract Engine as per documentation states in prerequisites.

Installation notes depending on your operating system can be found here: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdoc/blob/main/Installation.md

Lastly, check following command tesseract --version in your terminal. If not recognized, you might need to add the PATH to your system's environment variables.
