Uim comes packaged with most *nix distributions, but may also be compiled directly from source.
During installation, you may also want to install some input methods as well. See the Introduction page for a list of currently implemented conversion engines.
From source
For instructions about installing uim using a package management system that comes with most operating system distributions (such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo and the BSDs), please refer to your package manager documentation for now.

You can download the source code from the source directory. It includes the core library, various conversion engines, GTK+ bridge, Qt bridge, XIM bridge, FEP bridge, Emacs bridge, tools for configuration, and other tools.
If you want to use the latest development version, see also uim/Development.
Extract and configure
Begin by extracting the source from tar ball:
$ tar xvjf uim-x.x.x.tar.bz2
Then, move to the extracted directory and run configure.
$ cd uim-x.x.x $ ./configure

The full set of configuration options, run
$ ./configure --help
Finally, you make and install the package:
$ make [configuration options] $ sudo make install
By default, uim is installed under /usr/local/, but it may not be in the system search path. If not, you need to add the line /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.conf and then run ldconfig.
libuim is in /usr/local/lib/. The scheme programs are in /usr/local/share/uim/.
/etc/ld.so.conf is generatd automatically from /etc/env.d/*.Post-installation
To use the GTK+ immodule, you may need to generate the immodule file.[5] Run:
$ sudo gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
or
$ gtk-query-immodules-2.0 im-uim.so > ~/.immodules
