# Changing plugins install dir
By default, TPM installs plugins in a subfolder named `plugins/` inside
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/` if a `tmux.conf` file was found at that location, or
inside `~/.tmux/` otherwise.
You can change the install path by putting this in `.tmux.conf`:
set-environment -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH '/some/other/path/'
Tmux plugin manager initialization in `.tmux.conf` should also be updated:
# initializes TMUX plugin manager in a new path
run /some/other/path/tpm/tpm
Please make sure that the `run` line is at the very bottom of `.tmux.conf`.
