## Installation

[Install](/index.php/Install "Install") the [dasom-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dasom-git/) package.

Additionally, you might want to install input method modules packages such as [dasom-gtk-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dasom-gtk-git/) for GTK+, [dasom-qt-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dasom-qt-git/) for Qt applications.

### Input method engines

*   [dasom-jeongeum-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dasom-jeongeum-git/), for typing Korean hangul, based on [libhangul](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=libhangul).

### Initial setup

Add the following lines to your desktop start up script files to register the input method modules and support xim programs.

*   Use `.xprofile` if you are using KDM, GDM, LightDM or SDDM.
*   Use `.xinitrc` if you are using startx or Slim.

```
export GTK_IM_MODULE=dasom
export QT_IM_MODULE=dasom
export XMODIFIERS="@im=dasom"
dasom-daemon
dasom-indicator

```

Re-login to make these environment changes effective.

**Note:** If you are using GNOME, you may need to run the following commands to use dasom:
```
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/IMModule':<'dasom'>}"

```
