Before you start

If you had installed OpenBangla Keyboard 1.2.0 or an earlier version, please uninstall it first. Make sure you have a working internet connection. Your package manager might need to download dependencies when installing.

Arch Linux and its derivatives

We have a video tutorial that covers all the procedures for Arch Linux. You may check that out from here. However, there are two packages for OpenBangla-Keyboard in the Arch User Repository(AUR). Use openbangla-keyboard if you want to make and install the package from the source. Otherwise, use openbangla-keyboard-bin to use the binary package released for Arch and its derivatives by the maintainer. You can install it in one command with your favorite aur helper. Example commands for some popular tools:

openbangla-keyboard

  • $ yay -S openbangla-keyboard
  • $ yaourt -S openbangla-keyboard

openbangla-keyboard-bin

  • $ pacaur -S openbangla-keyboard-bin
  • $ yay -S openbangla-keyboard-bin

Or install manually:

sudo pacman -S base-devel git

cd openbangla-keyboard
makepkg -risc

We also provide a .pkg.tar.xz package for Arch Linux which you can easily install by following any of the above instructions for openbangla-keyboard-bin. If you want to install it manually, download the installation package from releases page and install OpenBangla Keyboard on your system by running the following command:
