Uim comes packaged with most *nix distributions, but may also be compiled directly from source.
During installation, you may also want to install some input methods as well. See the Introduction page for a list of currently implemented conversion engines.

or
$ gtk-query-immodules-2.0 im-uim.so > ~/.immodules
