# Keyman for Linux
|
|
|
|
## Projects
|
|
|
|
- [keyman-config](../../linux/keyman-config) - km-config and some other tools to install, uninstall
|
|
and view information about Keyman keyboard packages.
|
|
- [ibus-keyman](../../linux/ibus-keyman) - IBUS integration to use .kmp Keyman keyboards
|
|
- [core](../../core) - common keyboardprocessor library
|
|
|
|
See [license information](../../linux/LICENSE.md) about licensing.
|
|
|
|
## Linux Requirements/Setup
|
|
|
|
- It is helpful to be using the [packages.sil.org](http://packages.sil.org) repo
|
|
|
|
- Install packages required for building and developing Keyman for Linux.
|
|
The list of required packages can be seen in `linux/debian/control`.
|
|
It is easiest to use the `mk-build-deps` tool to install the
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install devscripts equivs
|
|
sudo mk-build-deps --install linux/debian/control
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compiling from Command Line
|
|
|
|
### Build script
|
|
|
|
#### Installing for ibus to use ibus-keyman
|
|
|
|
- The process to build and install everything is:
|
|
|
|
- `linux/build.sh configure` to set the version and setup the build system
|
|
- `linux/build.sh build` to build
|
|
- `sudo linux/build.sh install` to install to `/usr/local`
|
|
|
|
- Some of the files must be installed to `/usr/share/` or `/usr/local/share`
|
|
so `linux/build.sh install` must be run as `sudo`.
|
|
|
|
To do this run `sudo linux/build.sh install`
|
|
|
|
- This will install to `/usr/local` and
|
|
`/usr/local/share/ibus/component/keyman.xml` and `/usr/local/share/keyman/icons`
|
|
|
|
- run `sudo linux/build.sh uninstall` to uninstall everything and put it back again
|
|
|
|
## Continuous integration
|
|
|
|
Teamcity PR builds will run `linux/build.sh install`
|
|
|
|
Master builds run `linux/build.sh install` and create source packages
|
|
|
|
Nightly and release builds upload the most recent new master build to <https://downloads.keyman.com>
|
|
|
|
## Building packages
|
|
|
|
See [Linux packaging doc](packaging.md)
|
|
for details on building Linux packages for Keyman.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
### keyman-config
|
|
|
|
The unit tests can be run with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd linux/keyman-config
|
|
./run-tests.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ibus-keyman
|
|
|
|
If you want to run the ibus-keyman tests with Wayland, you'll have to
|
|
have `mutter` installed (version >=40). Otherwise you'll only be able
|
|
to run the tests with X11.
|
|
|
|
The tests can be run with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd linux/ibus-keyman
|
|
./build.sh test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or with a script that accepts additional parameters:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd linux/ibus-keyman/tests
|
|
scripts/run-tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `run-tests` script accepts different arguments which can be seen with
|
|
`scripts/run-tests --help`.
|
|
|
|
## Running Keyman for Linux
|
|
|
|
### Setting up Ibus
|
|
|
|
Ibus should be running on a default install of Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
You may want to install extra packages to get other ibus input methods e.g
|
|
**ibus-unikey** for VN.
|
|
|
|
Run `ibus restart` after installing any of them.
|
|
|
|
### Getting a Keyman keyboard
|
|
|
|
- After installing a Keyman keyboard usually ibus will be restarted
|
|
automatically so that ibus will look for the new keyboard. If for
|
|
whatever reason the keyboard doesn't show up in the system
|
|
keyboard list, you can manually run `ibus restart`.
|
|
|
|
### Activating a Keyman keyboard
|
|
|
|
Keyman tries to activate the keyboard automatically. If you want to activate
|
|
it for a different language, you can do so by following the steps below.
|
|
|
|
#### GNOME3 (focal and bionic default, also newer Ubuntu versions)
|
|
|
|
- Click the connection/sound/shutdown section in the top right. Then the tools
|
|
icon for Settings.
|
|
|
|
- In `Language and Region` click `+` to add a keyboard.
|
|
- Click the 3 dots expander then search for "Other" and click it
|
|
- The Keyman keyboards should be listed here to choose
|
|
|
|
- Use `Win-space` to switch between keyboards.
|
|
|
|
#### Cinnamon (wasta default)
|
|
|
|
- Open `Menu` and find `IBus Keyboards` (`IBus Preferences`) and run it
|
|
- Make sure `Show icon on system tray` is checked
|
|
- Select the tab `Input Method`.
|
|
- Click `Add` to add a keyman keyboard.
|
|
- Click the 3 dots expander then search for "Other" and click it
|
|
- The Keyman keyboards should be listed here to choose
|
|
|
|
#### MATE (alternative)
|
|
|
|
- Open `System-> Preferences -> Other -> IBus Preferences`.
|
|
- Make sure `Show icon on system tray` is checked
|
|
- Select the tab `Input Method`.
|
|
- Click `Add` to add a keyman keyboard.
|
|
- Click the 3 dots expander then search for "Other" and click it
