Installing Avro in 18.04 LTS

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

Here is the steps you need to follow.

Go to Language Support. Click install/remove languages.
Select Bangla from the list and click apply. After installing Bangla language support you should start installing Avro.
The resulting window should look like this:
Download and install avro from here on GitHub. I use 2.0 version
```
sudo dpkg -i avro_2.0-1_all.deb
```
You will see some missing packages. To install those, run the following command:
```
sudo apt-get install -f
```
Restart ibus
```
ibus restart
```
Now go to Settings > Region and language > Add an input source > Bangla > Bengali (Avro Phonetic)
Enjoy typing Bangla in Avro keyboard.

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)
