The apt-get or yum usage is for users of software. A distribution packager maintainer will also use it for testing. --- | 2.Where can I find the files if I am doing a package installation ? \-- It depends on the distribution you use. Check your distro documentation. If you enable the package source repo for your distribution, you can also download the source packages (.src.rpm, for example). --- | 3.Am I doing the entire process wrong ? \-- Yes. Since, you plan to work on enhancing the software, you need to use the source code. If you are also the package maintainer for Tesseract for your distribution, you can also work on packaging the same to a .deb or .rpm file or whatever format the distribution uses.
