PRIME is a PRedictive IME.  PRIME predicts the user's input using
knowledge of natural languages and the user's previous input to reduce
the difficulty of typing.  For example in English, when you type
"ap", intending "application", PRIME might suggest "apple",
"application", and "appointment."  You then easily select
"application".  (However, PRIME does not have the English dictionaries
yet).

Would you tell me your OS environment to help the installation?
If you're using Debian, Redhat (RPM system Linux), Gentoo or MacOS,
You can use the packages.
