Automatic Installation

Bootstrap tpack automatically when setting up a new machine from your dotfiles.

Setup

Add this snippet to your tmux.conf, before the final run line:

if "test ! -d ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm" \
   "run 'git clone https://github.com/tmuxpack/tpack ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm && ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/install_plugins'"

This does two things:

1. Checks whether tpack is already installed at ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm.
2. If not, clones the repository and runs the initial plugin installation.

On subsequent tmux starts the directory already exists, so the snippet is a no-op.

Tip

This is especially useful when you sync your dotfiles across machines. New machines will bootstrap tpack and all your plugins on the first tmux launch.
