This is a note from when I installed tmux on a CentOS 6 minimal VM. If you run `yum` without thinking about it, you get Error: Nothing to do because the package is not available. If you just want to install tmux quickly and do not mind that the version is a little old, the following is enough.

Installation

Install it with yum.

$ sudo yum install epel-release ... $ sudo yum install tmux

$ tmux -V tmux 1.6

Test Environment

$ cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)

Bonus

.tmux.conf

Automatically Start tmux When Added to bashrc

Since this is a VM test environment I use often, it may be worth putting this in the Vagrant file.
