Examples#
Handle the refusal of a tmux older than the supported minimum by its code and message. Use Lua 5.1 or newer with LuaRocks, tmux 3.3a or newer, and a C compiler and CMake for luv on Linux. In a new directory, install the library and its standalone runtime dependency from LuaRocks:
Terminal window $ luarocks --tree ./rocks install luv &&luarocks --tree ./rocks install libtmux &&eval "$(luarocks --tree ./rocks path)"Save this complete launcher as
run.sh. It starts a private tmux daemon and cleans up after success or failure. A failed daemon shutdown reports and retains its socket directory.
