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://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 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 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slightly out of date) guide is available in the OpenBSD FAQ at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 are in the examples directory.
A vim(1) syntax file is available at:
https://github.com/keith/tmux.vim
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keith/tmux.vim/master/syntax/tmux.vim
For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log
files in the current directory.
tmux mailing lists are available. For general discussion and bug reports:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tmux-users
And for Git commit emails:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tmux-git
Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most
welcome. Please send by email to:
