| Welcome to tmux! |
| |
| tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows) |
| to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a |
| simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen. |
| |
| This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. |
| |
| tmux depends on libevent 2.x. Download it from: |
| |
| http://libevent.org |
| |
| To build tmux from a release tarball, do: |
| |
| $ ./configure && make |
| $ sudo make install |
| |
| By default, tmux will use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is |
| installed. Run configure with --disable-utempter to disable 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 |
| |
| For more information see http://git-scm.com. Patches should be sent by email to |
| the mailing list at tmux-users@googlegroups.com. |
| |
| For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. It can be viewed from |
| the source tree with: |
| |
| $ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less |
| |
| Some common questions are answered in the FAQ file, a rough todo list is in the |
| TODO file and an example configuration in example_tmux.conf. |
