If you're running 'tesseract train.tif ...', it just needs to be in
the current directory.

You also need to use 'make install', or provide a path to the
executable - Unix-like systems (unlike DOS, etc.) do not include the
current directory in the executable search path. (You can, of course,
change that but it's A Bad Idea.)
If tesseract is in /home/jim and $PWD (use 'echo $PWD') is /home/jim I
could use:
./tesseract ...
('.' means 'this directory')
/home/jim/tesseract
(the full path)
or even
../jim/tesseract
('..' means 'one level lower' - in this case, '/home')
or even:
$PWD/tesseract
($PWD is an environment variable, and will always be there... unless
you remove it from another shell, but you probably don't need to worry
about that).
I think MacOS uses /User or something else, just substitute with
actual values. Using 'make install' will be more convenient, though.
