First, backup some files. Run these commands:

cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo.old
cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml.old

Open /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/epo and append the following text block at the end of the file

// github.com/salif/shaw_eo
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "shaw_eo" {

  include "us(basic)"

  name[Group1]= "Esperanto (Shavian)";

  key <AD01> { [ U10456, scircumflex ] };
  key <AD02> { [ U10461, gcircumflex] };
  key <AD03> { [ U10467, e] };
  key <AD04> { [ U1046E, r] };
  key <AD05> { [ U10451, t] };
  key <AD06> { [ U10458, ubreve] };
  key <AD07> { [ U1046A, u] };
  key <AD08> { [ U10466, i] };
  key <AD09> { [ U10469, o] };
  key <AD10> { [ U10450, p] };
  key <AD11> { [ U10460, jcircumflex] };
  key <AD12> { [ U10459, hcircumflex] };

  key <AC01> { [ U10468, a ] };
  key <AC02> { [ U10455, s ] };
  key <AC03> { [ U1045B, d ] };
  key <AC04> { [ U10453, f ] };
  key <AC05> { [ U1045C, g ] };
  key <AC06> { [ U10463, h ] };
  key <AC07> { [ U10462, j ] };
  key <AC08> { [ U10452, k ] };
  key <AC09> { [ U10464, l ] };

  key <AB01> { [ U1045F, z ] };
  key <AB02> { [ U10457, ccircumflex ] };
  key <AB03> { [ U10454, c ] };

  key <AB06> { [ U10475, n ] };
  key <AB07> { [ U1046B, m ] };

  include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};

Open /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml and insert the following text block after the Esperanto (legacy) variant

<variant>
  <configItem>
    <name>shaw_eo</name>
    <description>Esperanto (Shavian)</description>
  </configItem>
</variant>

Then add Esperanto (Shavian) via the settings of your desktop environment
