Ubuntu Oneiric users please use scim instead of ibus, there’s a bug in ibus-m17n which is not fixed as of writing fixed read here. You may go on running the rs.sh file as said below, please pick “Scim Bridge” for Input Method when asked in im-switch dialog. You can get this by running ‘im-switch’ in the terminal.

sudo apt-get install scim scim-m17n zenity

Ubuntu(not Oneiric) users goto the terminal and type this and press enter,

sudo apt-get install ibus-m17n zenity

Debian(or some Debian derivatives) users goto the terminal and type this and press enter,

su root -c "apt-get install ibus-m17n zenity"

Red hat or Red Hat derivatives(Fedora, SUSE..etc) users type this in terminal and press enter,

su root -c "yum install ibus-m17n zenity"

Other distro users: get ibus-m17n package and zenity package installed some how.

Now download this zip file. Extract rs.sh and run it by going to the extracted path and typing,

sh rs.sh

E.g. : If you extracted to the Desktop,

cd ~/Desktop
sh rs.sh

* Zenity is not mandatory but its needed to display messages from the script as GUI messages.
