Linux--Ubuntu installation Sogou Input Method

In Ubuntu Kylin system, the default installation sogou Pinyin Input method, but in the native Ubuntu system is not. This can be understood, after all, Sogou input method of the Linux version has the Kylin team of the small credit. Because Sogou Input method is indeed more than the Linux system other Chinese input methods are much more useful, so I decided to install in my Ubuntu 14.04 system Sogou Input method.

Must be popular science, the input method of the Linux system is based on the input method framework, the first input method framework, and then the specific input method. A framework often has a variety of input methods, a framework is often a multi-lingual input method. In the history of Linux, there have been a variety of input method frameworks, such as SCIM, FCITX, IBUs and so on. is so-called "Jiangshan generation has talent out, each lead the coquettish * * year", the input method frame turnover is also very frequent, for example once very popular SCIM Input method framework now basically died down. In the latest Ubuntu system and Fedora system, the default is to use the IBUs framework, but the Sogou input method is based on the FCITX input method framework.

Fortunately, the default Input method framework of Linux system is configurable, but also in Ubuntu software source has the FCITX IME framework package. In system settings, language support, you can choose which Input method framework to use. Such as:

As you can see, my Ubuntu 14.04 system defaults to using the IBUs IME framework, and I chose the Sunpinyin ime on that frame and the pole Wubi 86 input method.

Before installing Sogou Input method, you must first install the FCITX Input method framework, such as:

After installation, you can choose to use the Fcitx Input method framework by default in language support, system settings, such as:

After installing the FCITX IME Framework and making system settings, the system interface may not have changed. This is normal because the IME framework is started with the X Window System when it is started. So, you need to logout, and then you can see the following effect, the input method indicator of the taskbar has changed appearance:

Then, access Sogou Input Method Linux version of the official website, http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux, download Sogou Input Method Linux version. As you can see from the official website, this input method is officially only supported for Ubuntu (although someone on the internet can use the input method on Fedora by converting the Deb package into an RPM package). Such as:

To download the Deb package, double-click Install, such as:

After the installation is complete, the system may not have changed. Obviously, we have to write it off again. Finally use Sogou Input method to send blog effect, such as:
