Installing Avro in 18.04 LTS

  • 772

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.

    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.

      Language support dialog

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

      Installed Languages dialog

    3. The resulting window should look like this:

      Language Support dialog with Bangla

    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)

      Add an input source dialog

    8. Enjoy typing Bangla in Avro keyboard.

  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)

  3. I've installed successfully and found the settings for input source at the top bar.
