D. Install other Chinese input
If you have a traditional Chinese Linux system and would like to install other Chinese input like scim, you can do so through approach A. You only need to change a few places.
In step 6 , you change fcitx to scim.
In step 8, you change all fcitx to scim
and the rest will be the same.
Although here we use stable version of fcitx as a sample, you can always use approach C to download and compile the latest version at any time you like. Good luck and enjoy the Linux!
