    target::AbstractString = "tessdata",
    baseUrl::AbstractString = DATA_URL,
    force::Bool = false
)::Bool

Download the data files for the specified languages. Returns false if there is a problem downloading the files.

Arguments:

T	Name	Default	Description
O	languages	`eng`	The languages to download separated with "+".
K	target	`tessdata`	The directory to save the data files in.
K	baseUrl	...	The base URL to download the files from.
K	force	`false`	Should the files be downloaded even if they exist?

Details:

By default the data files are saved in a "tessdata" directory under the current directory, and the files are downloaded from https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best.

Normally if the file has already been downloaded then it is not downloaded again. However if force is true then the file is downloaded and the existing file is overwritten.
