@Operation(Kind.READ)
public void requireCompatibleTmux()
```

Requires a compatible daemon, or a compatible executable when this endpoint is unused.

Starts no daemon. This checks compatibility at call time; every later operation checks
the daemon's version again.

## Raises

- [`UnsupportedFeatureException`](/en/java/latest/reference/io-github-libtmux-exception-unsupportedfeatureexception-unsupportedfeatureexception/): if the selected tmux is older than the core minimum
- [`MalformedResponseException`](/en/java/latest/reference/io-github-libtmux-exception-malformedresponseexception-malformedresponseexception/): if tmux reports an unrecognized version
