| Welcome to tmux! |
| |
| tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created, |
| accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a |
| screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached. |
| |
| This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. |
| |
| * Dependencies |
| |
| tmux depends on libevent 2.x, available from: |
| |
| https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/latest |
| |
| It also depends on ncurses, available from: |
| |
| https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/ncurses/ |
| |
| * Installation |
| |
| To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use: |
| |
| $ ./configure && make |
| $ sudo make install |
| |
| tmux can use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed - run |
| configure with --enable-utempter to enable this. |
| |
| To get and build the latest from version control: |
| |
| $ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git |
| $ cd tmux |
| $ sh autogen.sh |
| $ ./configure && make |
| |
| (Note that this requires at least a working C compiler, make, autoconf, |
| automake, pkg-config as well as libevent and ncurses libraries and headers.) |
| |
