Daredevil SKK (DDSKK) is a fast and efficient Japanese input system written in Emacs Lisp.

DDSKK is an expand version of SKK (Simple Kana to Kanji conversion program, originated by Masahiko Sato). The way of Kana to Kanji conversion is characteristic of SKK. To learn the usage of DDSKK, the tutorial program `skk-tutorial’ is available.

By default, DDSKK tries to connect an skkserv compatible dictionary server such as dbskkd-cdb, skksearch or yaskkserv on localhost. Directly use of a dictionary file without skkserv is also supported.

To make a local dictionary from the skkdic package and the skkdic-extra package, use the update-skkdic command of the skktools package. To use optional features, install required packages such as lookup-el, kakasi, and so on.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install ddskk

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install ddskk.

sudo apt -y install ddskk

sudo aptitude install ddskk
