Where is my data?

Almost all Fcitx 4 data are stored under ~/.config/fcitx.

For Fcitx 5, the paths follow more closely to XDG standard, which are ~/.local/share/fcitx5 and ~/.config/fcitx5.

Specifically, Rime data was located at ~/.config/fcitx/rime with Fcitx 4, while it is ~/.local/share/fcitx5/rime in Fcitx 5.

What package do I need to install?

The distribution may have there own way to split package, I'll only talk about it on the source package how they mapped.

Can I keep my old data?

You'll need to reconfigure the input method list, migrating configuration file is not supported.

Certain engine does not store the data in fcitx's path, so they can be reused directly, e.g. Mozc, Anthy.

There are certain data can be migrated. fcitx5-migrator in fcitx5-configtool will help you do that. The supported Engine includes Pinyin, Rime, Table, SKK, KKC.
