IBus on Ubuntu 14.04 Japanese not working

Question

I am new to Ubuntu (14.04) and want to type Japanese text. I applied language support "Japanese" and it shows up in the language icon at the page top menue. I installed IBus Input Pad, also Mozc. Both show up at the left hand Starter and the programs can be opened, but the field "apply" is not highlighted. Problem being: the input is simply not working at all. What else do I have to do?

Solution

I don't know how you get them installed. I first installed mocz from software center and I didn't work. But the following command works. Press Ctrl + Alt + T to start the terminal, then right click on anywhere in the terminal to paste the command:

sudo apt-get install ibus-mozc mozc-server mozc-utils-gui

After everything is done in the terminal, log out once and try find mozc in Text Entry Settings.
