About the project

Tmux is terminal multiplexer that keeps sessions alive and splits the screen. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The maintainers own the project. They choose release timing, publish announcements, and write the documentation themselves. Nothing about that process is controlled from here.

Where the project comes from

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

Platform requirements

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Afterwards

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.
