Recently, I'm using Ubuntu for development. I'm used to Sogou input method, so I try to install it on Ubuntu. I found that the tutorials on the network were not complete, so I recorded the whole process of my exploration and installation.
0x01: installing fcitx
Command line execution
sudo apt-get install fcitx fcitx-table-wbpy
0x02: set system input method
The Sogou input method supports Ubuntu 1604, 1804, 1910, 2004 and 2010
The installation steps of each system may be slightly different. Take Ubuntu1804 as an example.
1. Add Chinese language support
Open system settings - region and language - manage installed languages - under the "language" tab - click "add or remove languages"
Pop up the "installed language" window, check Chinese (Simplified), and click apply
Return to the "language support" window and select "fcitx" in the keyboard input method system
Note:
If there is no "fcitx" option in the keyboard input method system, it is recommended to open the terminal and install fcitx manually:
sudo apt-get install fcitx
Perform the above steps after the installation is successful
Click "apply to the whole system", close the window and restart the computer
2. Install Sogou input method from the command line
First, Download Sogou input method for Linux on this interface: https://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/?r=pinyin
sudo dpkg -i sogoupinyin_Version number_amd64.deb
Note:
If you are prompted that there are no related dependencies during installation, execute the following command to solve the problem:
sudo apt -f install
3. Author's practice process:

sudo dpkg -i sogoupinyin_2.4.0.3469_amd64.deb
