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 this page.
It also depends on ncurses, available from this page.
Installation
From release tarball
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.
From version control
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.)
Contributing
Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most welcome. Please send by email to:
