Update tmux to latest version

update_tmux.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

# dependecies
apt update
apt install -y git automake build-essential pkg-config libevent-dev libncurses5-dev byacc

# where our temp file locates
rm -rf /tmp/tmux
git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git /tmp/tmux
cd /tmp/tmux

bash autogen.sh
./configure && make
make install
cd -

# clean up
rm -rf /tmp/tmux

I had to install byacc as well for the make to run successfully.

sudo apt install -y byacc for the lazy

Hello,
Not that I expect a reply, though it would help! As the above script isn't commented...why line 27??

@kevomac12 I'd assume because it builds and installs the binary, after which you don't need the source code or the build artifacts anymore. Stuff that's in /tmp/* implies it's allowed to be deleted/not for longterm storage.

Thank you!

Thanks for your kindly suggestions guys!

I have updated the script.

This is great! Thank you.
One thing to mention here to anyone running this. Make sure at the very end to reload your shell before running tmux -V

Edit

I used it to make a install script that should work with Debian and CentOS based systems. This doesn't depend on git and builds a specified version from source.
