I git cloned tmux from github, tag 2.2 and run sh autogen.sh and ./configure && make. For the last one I had to install automake. I also have all the dependencies I found required. When I try to run sudo make install I got

$ sudo make install                                                                                                                                         [22:58:28]
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/kode/tmux-2.2'
 /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin'
  /usr/bin/install -c tmux '/usr/local/bin'
make  install-exec-hook
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/kode/tmux-2.2'
if test xmdoc = xmdoc; then \
    sed -e "s|@SYSCONFDIR@|/etc|g" ./tmux.1 \
        >./tmux.1.mdoc; \
else \
    sed -e "s|@SYSCONFDIR@|/etc|g" ./tmux.1| \
        mawk -f./mdoc2man.awk >./tmux.1.man; \
fi
/bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./tmux.1.mdoc \
    /usr/local/share/man/man1/tmux.1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/kode/tmux-2.2'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kode/tmux-2.2'

How to fix this and install tmux 2.2+?

I am on Ubuntu 16.04. Thanks in advance.

  • I don't see any error messages. The installations appears successful.

  • Thats Right. I dont know why I decided the output was an error message. Maybe I expected more to see something similar like ok or success at the end.

But you DID install tmux in /usr/local/bin: 

/usr/bin/install -c tmux '/usr/local/bin'

and tmux.1 in /usr/local/share/man/man1/tmux.1

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./tmux.1.mdoc \
/usr/local/share/man/man1/tmux.1

You can now man tmux, and type -p tmux, and even tmux, if /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH.
