Install Bijoy Ekushe to Linux/Ubuntu


1 Install Bijoy Keyboard and write Bangla (Bijoy Classic and Unicode) in Linux.
 How to Install Bijoy Ekushe in Linux OS
Let’s start to install Bijoy Ekushe to Linux or Ubuntu. You know, Bijoy Ekushe (Bijoy 21) is the
best alternative and 100% similar of Bijoy Baynno (Bijoy 52). Both are built by Ananda
Publishers.
Currently, they have published Bijoy Ekushe for Linux user and it is free to use personally.
Before publishing it, many Bengali’s were waiting for Bijoy Ekushe or Baynno and are using
Unijoy or Avro. See the Set up of Bijoy Ekushe (Alternative Baynnol) in Linux/Ubuntu

Unicode) in Linux.
Who had used Bijoy Baynno/Ekushe in Windows and has switched to Linux especially Ubuntu
or Linux Mint, has fallen in great trouble to write Bangla in Linux smoothly. Though Unijoy
offers to write Bangla in Linux as Bijoy Baynno or Ekushe there had much limitations and
differences between them. Specially Unijoy is not friendly to Bijoy Classic for publishing
purposes.
Obviously, Bijoy Ekushe for Linux will encourage Bengali people to switch to Linux from
Windows. I am personally very thankful to Ananda Publisher.
