[limo@limo ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/jinja2
/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/jinja2/ is owned by python-jinja 1:3.1.2-2
[limo@limo ~]$
OK, so…that is all fine. You have jinja2 installed through a proper package.
don’t worry, nothing bad will happen, jinja2 doesn’t access the system(jinja:A simple pythonic template language written in Python). but yeah, you shouldn’t use sudo with pip, @dalto and @2000 are right about that.
Well, in this strange situation having something installed is a great achievement 
But still I don’t understand
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
-> error making: python-coloredlogs
[limo@limo Downloads]$
No, that is not the issue. As soon as something tries to pull in python-jinja as a dependency pacman will throw errors.
That is the issue with using sudo pip on an Arch-based system. pacman expects to manage all the system files. If you manually install things, it will cause chaos.
This is a common issue people have with their systems where they can no longer update or install software because they used sudo pip.

did you want to install ocrmypdf with arabic font?
there are often problems that have to do with the system font.
Is there a way to revert back?
Better reinstall?
Or is it still OK with me?
You are OK.
I am not sure why you are getting that error though.
Does this give a clue?

you can remove the installed package with:
pip uninstall jinja2
you may need to remove the jinja2 folders manually
Edit: ask @dalto bevor you do that! 
Using pip without sudo is not an issue.
However, I don’t think it will help in this situation.

Why remove it? Isn’t it needed?
Like I said, using pip won’t help in this situation.

It says “Successfully installed ocrmypdf-13.6.1”
But can solving the " WARNING: The script ocrmypdf is installed in ‘/home/limo/.local/bin’ which is not on PATH.

be the solution?
I have “ocrmypdf” in “/home/limo/.local/bin/” but even from that folder
[limo@limo bin]$ ocrmypdf "/home/limo/Downloads/filename.pdf"
bash: ocrmypdf: command not found
[limo@limo bin]$
Yes, that should work.
Hopefully!
Sorry, what command to do to add path? (sorry for being that…)
If you are using bash as your shell, edit ~/.bashrc and add this:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/limo/.local/bin/
Then type exec bash or source ~/.bashrc

what I mean is in the Case if you want to undo it.
Wonderful!
It worked!
I could scan and export to another file and select text from it.
The only strange thing now when I copy the “text” added it is English letters not Arabic!
Though I installed
[limo@limo ~]$ yay -Syyu tesseract-data-eng
[limo@limo ~]$ yay -Syyu tesseract-data-ara
UPDATE:
Command not found again! though it worked after I did
export PATH=$PATH:/home/limo/.local/bin/
Then worked again after I issued the commands again!
How to make the commands permanent?
UPDATE:
Arabic leters worked OK, I searche and found I have to add “l -ara” to the command.
ocrmypdf -l ara source.pdf target.pdf
But though I can read it properly “orange” as “orange” when I copy the text is reversed (eg: orange become “egnaro” -arabic alphabet of course)
UPDATE: I opened the same file in Chromium browser and it is read properly. So, it seems the problem is with okular.
UPDATE:
Searching for an Arabic word inside the file it worked properly as expected. This confirms the problem with okular.
I tried on an English PDF and it worked OK.
