Installing SOGOU 搜狗拼音

As advised by the FCITX team on Launchpad:

I removed the PPA (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fcitx-team/dailybuild-fcitx-master/ubuntu trusty main)
I uninstalled fcitx apt-get remove fcitx && apt-get autoremove && apt-get update
I restarted
I reinstalled sogou_pinyin from http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/ dpkg -i sogou_pinyin_linux_1.0.0.0011_i386.deb with many dependencies errors in the terminal.
I ran apt-get install -f to solve the dependencies errors.
And in a terminal as a regular user fcitx and after fcitx-qimpanel

And BAM! It works. So I should not have added the PPA I guess!

In 17.04 libopencc1 is not available, however libopencc2 is compatible with it.

Adapting suggestions from here:

sudo apt install libopencc2 fcitx-libs fcitx-libs-qt fonts-droid-fallback 
sudo dpkg -i sogoupinyin_2.0.0.0078_amd64.deb

Something like the above should work to install it (adjusting based on the latest deb version).

First time running it didn't show the suggestions when typing, changing the skin fixed this.
