Imput Method Engine
Characters of the Japanese are so numerous (thousands) that, of course, they cannot be laid out on a keyboard with only roughly 100 touches. Thus we have to use some software that will transform phonetically entered text into Japanese characters (kana or kanji). Such a piece of software is call an Input Method Engine (IME). As the input method will not be the only one we want to use, we also need some software to manage all the input methods (occidental direct method, or mozc and anthy for Japanese). The method manager we will use is already shipped with Fedora and is called ibus.
Installing the Input Methods
You have to install at least one IME but you can install severals.
To install mozc, use the following command:
su -c "dnf install ibus-mozc"
To install anthy use:
su -c "dnf install ibus-mozc"
