Windows

MacOS

• Download this repository as a zip (and extract)
• Double click the default.inputplugin script in the MacOSX folder to make it run (You might have to give it some permissions in order to do so)
• There should be a "Sitelen Emoji" Keyboard in your list of installed keyboards
• To use it, switch to that keyboard and type, and switch back to your regular keyboard when needed

Linux

• Check if Inteligent Input Bus (IBus) is installed and enabled on your machine (enter ibus version in the command line)
• If not, install by sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-clutter ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 ibus-qt4 ibus-table
• Download this repository as a zip (and extract). Then run the command sudo ibus-table-createdb -n /usr/share/ibus-table/tables/sitelenemoji.db -s Linux/default_ibus.txt from the directory you extracted to
• Now that the the extension has been installed, run ibus-daemon -drx or restart your machine
• This enables you to run ibus-setup to complete the setup. There should be an option for a "Sitelen Emoji" keyboard under "English (US)." Select and install the keyboard
• To use Sitelen Emoji, switch to that keyboard and type, and switch back to your regular keyboard when needed

Optional: Instructions to download a pu-only list or a nimi ale pona list

• The instructions below for each os use the "default" file for each OS
• However there are also "pu_only" and "nimi_ale_pona" files in each OS's directory
• The default file contains all pu words, and 16 non pu words in addition. These are words the vast majority of the toki pona user base are familiar with.
• There is the nimi ale pona list, that might suggest some very rare words, since it adds 39 words to the default list
• For pu-rists, there is a pu only list that will only recommend pu words to you
