Ubuntu installation Chinese Input Method

The input methods on Ubuntu mainly include a small input platform (including pinyin, two strokes, and five strokes), Fcitx, Ibus, and Scim. Scim and Ibus are input method frameworks. You can use Ctrl + Space to switch between Chinese and English input methods in the Ubuntu Chinese system. Here we mainly talk about the installation of the Chinese Input Method in the Ubuntu English system.
