Anthy add as a language option ubuntu 16.04

By default when you install the japaneese language on Ubuntu 16.04 uses the mozc method. But is inconvenient for me thefore I want to install the anthy.

So I installed these packages:

pcmagas@pcmagas-Lenovo-G70-70:~$ dpkg -l | grep anthy
ii  anthy                                                       9100h-25ubuntu1                                     amd64        input method for Japanese - backend, dictionary and utility
ii  anthy-common                                                9100h-25ubuntu1                                     all          input method for Japanese - common files and dictionary
ii  anthy-el                                                    9100h-25ubuntu1                                     all          input method for Japanese - elisp frontend
ii  libanthy0:amd64                                             9100h-25ubuntu1                                     amd64        input method for Japanese - runtime library

I also installed the support for Japaneese via the "Language support", but when I try to select the input method I cannot find the "Japaneese(Anthy)" entry but only the one that uses mozc.

Can you tell me how to enable the input method via Anthy;

    You also need ibus-anthy or fcitx-anthy. Then you need to select either IBus or fcitx in Language Support. At next login (possibly a reboot is needed; see comment by user2281135) you should be able to find the Anthy item in Text Entry.

    To install ibus-anthy you can run the following command in a terminal:

    sudo apt-get install ibus-anthy
