# 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.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### From release tarball
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~bash
|
|
|
|
|
./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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### From version control
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get and build the latest from version control:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~bash
|
|
|
|
|
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.)
