- Python >= 3.2
- Cython >= 0.17
- a C compiler and library (we recommend GCC and the GNU C library)
- the libcangjie library and development headers
Install from a release tarball
Download a release tarball from the releases section on Freedesktop.org.
From the root folder of the unpacked tarball, do the usual Autotools dance:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
Install from Git
First, you need to clone the development repository:
$ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cangjie/pycangjie.git
Installation requires meson build system to run. After installing meson, from the root folder of the unpacked tarball, run:
$ meson setup ./builddir --prefix=/usr --wipe
$ meson build ./builddir
$ meson install -C ./builddir
If you have want to test against ibus-cangjie on your system but ibus-cangjie is already running before this process, remember to restart ibus daemon to reload the newly built and installed version:
