# Installing plugins via the command line only
### From inside tmux
Run the following command to install plugins:
When you have `tmux` running, plugins can be installed with the following command:
~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/install_plugins
~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/install_plugins.sh
Tmux does not need to be started in order to run the script (but it's okay if it
is).
This is the equivalent of pressing `prefix + I`.
If you [changed tpm install dir](docs/changing_plugins_install_dir.md) in
`.tmux.conf` that should work fine too.
### From outside tmux
Prerequisites:
To install the plugins when `tmux` is not even started (for example in a provisioning script):
# start tmux and create a session but don't attach to it
tmux new-session -d
# install the plugins
tmux run "~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/install_plugins.sh"
# killing the session is not required
tmux kill-session
- tmux installed on the system (doh)
- `.tmux.conf` set for TPM
