I've successfully compiled tmux from source and followed instructions. Now I want to installing it, alongside man pages & bash auto completion.

I cannot find the instructions to do so.

EDIT: instructions were followed from tmux github page: https://github.com/tmux/tmux

that is:

$ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git
$ cd tmux
$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure && make

So as far as I understand you want to be able to use TAB autocompletion to bring up tmux, as well as type it in as user@host: $ tmux ,not type full path. Is that correct ? – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Dec 10 '15 at 17:45
Does sudo make install work? Advanced tip: use checkinstall in order to ease removal of the source installation (the listed will install a potentially unstable version). – Kalle Richter Dec 11 '15 at 06:10
sudo make install did the trick. Thank you :) – nmiculinic Dec 15 '15 at 16:09
