I have installed the linux version of ibus-avro in chromebook. But don't know how to open it hence unable to change the keyboard layout.

How did you install ibus-avro in a chromebook?

Can you open ibus settings from the menu?

I used linux terminal to proceed as discussed in
https://www.blackmoreops.com/2013/10/16/how-to-install-avro-phonetic-keyboard-or-ibus-avro-in-debian-kali-lmde-mint-linux/

I don't see ibus settings in the menu.

Run the command ibus-setup in a terminal.

If it works, go to Input Methods --> Add --> Bangla (you may have to expand the list to find Bangla) --> Avro Phonetic. Don't close this window.
Open a text editor, and you will have to enter the toggle shortcut to change language.

You may have to keep the ibus-setup window open, in order to write Bangla. It may be possible to circumvent this by making ibus the default input method, but I don't know how to do that in a Chromebook.

I have tried this far. After running ibus-setup, there is no 'bangla' to add as input methods. what could be the way out?
