1Welcome to tmux! 2 3tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows) 4to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a 5simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen. 6 7This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. 8 9tmux depends on libevent 2.x. Download it from: 10 11 http://libevent.org 12 13It also depends on ncurses, available from: 14 15 http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ 16 17To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use: 18 19 $ ./configure && make 20 $ sudo make install 21 22tmux can use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed - run 23configure with --enable-utempter to enable this. 24 25To get and build the latest from version control: 26 27 $ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git 28 $ cd tmux 29 $ sh autogen.sh 30 $ ./configure && make 31 32(Note that this requires at least a working C compiler, make, autoconf, 33automake, pkg-config as well as libevent and ncurses libraries and headers.) 34 35For more information see http://git-scm.com.
