+Welcome to tmux!
+
+tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created,
+accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a
+screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
+
+This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, macOS and Solaris.
+
+* Dependencies
+
+tmux depends on libevent 2.x, available from:
+
+ https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/latest
+
+It also depends on ncurses, available from:
+
+ https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/ncurses/
+
+To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a
+suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed.
+
+* Installation
+
+To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use:
+
+ $ ./configure && make
+ $ sudo make install
+
+tmux can use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed - run
+configure with --enable-utempter to enable this.
+
+To get and build the latest from version control - note that this requires
+autoconf, automake and pkg-config:
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git
+ $ cd tmux
+ $ sh autogen.sh
+ $ ./configure && make
+
+* Contributing
+
+Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most
+welcome. Please send by email to:
+
+ tmux-users@googlegroups.com
+
+Or open a GitHub issue or pull request.
+
+* Documentation
+
+For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. View it from the
+source tree with:
+
+ $ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less
+
+A small example configuration is in example_tmux.conf.

+
+A bash(1) completion file is at:

+
+For debugging, run tmux with -v and -vv to generate server and client log files
+in the current directory.
