Avro phonetic implementation for Linux in IBus.
On Ubuntu, and on Debian's testing and unstable releases, Avro phonetic
is distributed through the ibus-avro
package. To install it, simply do:
sudo apt install ibus-avro
Install ibus-avro-git
from the AUR. Please see AUR prerequisites if you already have not.
On other Linux distros you can install the dependencies and build/install using the source code in this repository.
-
Open terminal/package manager and install following packages:
git libibus-1.0-dev automake autoconf make gjs ibus
For e.g. Debian 10 "buster"
As root, do:
apt install git libibus-1.0-dev automake autoconf make gjs ibus
For other linux distributions
You'll need all related build tools like
automake
,autoconf
etc... and to run it you needibus
andgjs
. Use the list of packages above as guidance, but please note that some packages may have other names. -
Now give the following commands step-by-step:
git clone https://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro.git cd ibus-avro aclocal && autoconf && automake --add-missing ./configure --prefix=/usr sudo make install
For Fedora (36, Cinnamon DE), Installing from source, and Enabling IBus Avro
git clone https://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro.git cd ibus-avro sudo dnf install automake # this installs aclocal, autoconf, and automake sudo dnf install ibus-devel ibus-libs # to repair "missing ibus-1.0 error" aclocal && autoconf && automake --add-missing ./configure --prefix=/usr sudo make install
Avro should be installed on your system. If you can't find anything, try logging out / restarting the computer. Now one needs to add avro in his input method. Since the installation was done on Fedora 36 with Cinnamon DE, it maybe slightly different in other DE (ie, Gnome, KDE, etc).
