Welcome to tmux!
2007-10-19 20:43:55 +00:00
tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows)
2007-10-12 17:32:20 +00:00
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.
2015-06-03 17:57:35 +00:00
This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris.

It also depends on ncurses, available from:

To build 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.
