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://libevent.org

To build tmux from a release tarball, do:

$ ./configure && make
$ sudo make install

By default, tmux will use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed. Run configure with --disable-utempter to disable this.

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 [email protected].

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, a rough todo list is in the TODO file and an example configuration in example_tmux.conf.

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

And a bash(1) completion file at:

https://github.com/imomaliev/tmux-bash-completion

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:
