Installing Avro in 18.04 LTS

How can I install Avro in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release? I have tried with this method but not working (previously worked in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).

Edit: This question is not a duplicated version of this one. Seems like installing Avro in 18.04 LTS needs some additional steps.

Solution 1:

I am using Avro in 18.04 LTS and it's working.

Here is the steps you need to follow.

1. Go to Language Support. Click install/remove languages.

   

2. Select Bangla from the list and click apply. After installing Bangla language support you should start installing Avro.

   

3. The resulting window should look like this:

   

4. Download and install avro from here on GitHub. I use 2.0 version

   sudo dpkg -i avro_2.0-1_all.deb
   

5. You will see some missing packages. To install those, run the following command:

   sudo apt-get install -f
   

6. Restart ibus

   ibus restart
   

7. Now go to Settings > Region and language > Add an input source > Bangla > Bengali (Avro Phonetic)

   

8. Enjoy typing Bangla in Avro keyboard.

Solution 2:

You may have run into a bug, which now has been fixed.

Avro Phonetic has recently been made available to Ubuntu users via an official package, which includes that bugfix.

To install it:

sudo apt install ibus-avro

After that add input source by following steps:

• Log out and log in again
• Settings > Region and language > Add an input source > Bangla (or Other) > Bangla (Avro Phonetic)
