Please run these commands from the terminal. Make sure you are in the right directory.
wget "https://github.com/maateen/avro/releases/download/v2.0/avro_2.0-1_all.deb"
sudo dpkg -i avro_2.0-1_all.deb
If you get any dependency errors, then also run the following command:
sudo apt-get install -f
I hope, all is well now and the installation has been finished.
Go to System Settings -> Language Support from Unity Launcher Look at the Keyboard input method system Select IBus and close the window.
I believe that you need to restart IBus to make everything work fine. Try the following command:
ibus restart
After this a “reboot” is required. Now go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Text Entry. Search and add Avro Phonetic as input source. That’s all.
