Installation of Armenian Phonetic on Sequoia does not work

I am trying to install Armenian phonetic following the bellow instruction:

https://github.com/vahe-evoyan/armenian-phonetic

The Step 2 of the instruction does not work. Thus, when am dragging the file to the "Keyboard Layout" folder nothing happens and am not being asked to authenticate.

Similarly can not install any keyboard layouts.


Please help me to understand what is wrong.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.1

There are 3 keyboard layouts folders. You cannot use System/Library/Keyboard Layouts, but you should be able to use both Library/Keyboard Layouts and Home/Library/Keyboard Layouts. To get to Home/Library, you hold down the Option key while doing Finder > Go.


Let us know if that helps.

  1. I followed your instruction "To get to Home/Library, you hold down the Option key while doing Finder > Go." But it does not make any difference. Did not happen anything.
  2. Then I followed the following instruction: "open Finder, press Cmd Shift G , and paste /Library/Keyboard Layouts in the input field. Then press Enter. Put your files in the newly opened folder."

The file is now visible in some folder (see the screenshot).


However, the keyboard layout is not visible in settings (see the picture):

Do you know why is it not working?
