在ubuntu 使用ibus的嘸蝦咪相當簡單
只要連結到
https://github.com/vicamo/ibus-table-boshiamy/downloads
會看到有兩個連結，請下載第二個
ibus-table-boshiamy_1.2.0.20091209-0ubuntu1_all.deb
丟在Ubuntu底下你喜歡的地方(我是直接放在家目錄底下)
用滑鼠對著此檔案點兩下便會自動安裝
接著請登出ubuntu，再重新登入(目的只是要重啟ibus)
到ibus的設定頁面(即 Keyboard Input Methods)加入此輸入法即可
在red hat下 得自己做table，方法如下：
1.先確定己安裝ibus-table-createdb。
如未安裝請自行安裝
# yum install ibus-table
2.請先下載字碼表，網址如下：
https://sites.google.com/a/ubuntu-tw.org/orange/boshiamyfinal.tar.bz2?attredirects=0
裏面放有Basic.txt ,GB.csv 兩個檔案
其中Basic.txt是正體中文+日文 沒有把蝦米研究室的Ext A,Ext B 字沒有包含進來
(ExtA,ExtB屬於是少見unicode 用到機率小)
即便已經省掉ExtA,ExtB 這樣還是會超過Windows版輸入法的限制(32000列)
所以簡體的部份單獨存放在GB.csv (有需要簡體,請自行整合)
3.將以下內容複製到Basic.txt內的最上方之後儲存成liu.txt

###==============================================
4.照以下的command製作ibus 的 db
# ibus-table-createdb -s liu.txt -n liu.db
5.將liu.db 複製到 /usr/share/ibus-table/tables/
6. 依照步驟3的內容中，有寫的icon 名稱(即圖檔boshiamy.png)，將自製的icon 複製到 /usr/share/ibus-table/icons/ (檔名要為boshiamy.png)
登出後再登入就可以在ibus中新增無蝦咪了
