| 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 and OS X and may still |
| run on Solaris and AIX (although they haven't been tested in a while). |
| |
| tmux depends on libevent 2.x. Download it from: |
| |
| http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ |
| |
| To build tmux from a release tarball, do: |
| |
| $ ./configure && make |
| $ sudo make install |
| |
| To get and build the latest from version control: |
| |
| $ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/tmux/tmux-code tmux |
| $ cd tmux |
| $ sh autogen.sh |
| $ ./configure && make |
| |
| For more information see https://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group_id=200378 |
| and http://git-scm.com. Patches should be sent by email to the mailing list at |
| tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net. |
| |
| 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 and a more extensive (but |
| slightly out of date) guide is available in the OpenBSD FAQ at |
| http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#tmux. A rough todo list is in the TODO |
| file and some example configurations and a Vim syntax file are in the examples |
| directory. |
| |
| For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log |
| files in the current directory. |
| |
| tmux mailing lists are available. Visit: |
