Installation

Requirements

• tmux installed and on your PATH.
• Linux (sess reads /proc/<pid>/cmdline to resolve the full command line running in each pane — see How it works).

From a release binary

Download the latest tarball from the Releases page, then:

tar -xzf sess-VERSION-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
sudo mv sess /usr/local/bin/

Via cargo / crates.io

If you already have Rust installed:

cargo install sess

From source

git clone https://github.com/sess-linux/sess
cd sess
cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/sess /usr/local/bin/

Verify it's on your PATH:

sess --version

Optional: config file

Auto-save-by-default and environment variable persistence are both off until you create ~/.config/sess/config.toml — see Configuration. Nothing here is required just to use sess.
