Plugin Directory

By default, tpack installs plugins to a plugins/ subfolder inside your tmux config directory:

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/plugins/ — if a tmux.conf was found there
• ~/.tmux/plugins/ — otherwise

Overriding the path

Set the TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH environment variable in your tmux.conf:

set-environment -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH '/some/other/path/'

TPACK_PLUGIN_PATH also works and takes priority over TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH when both are set.

When changing the path, update the initialization line at the bottom of your config to match:

run /some/other/path/tpm/tpm

Warning

Keep the run line at the very bottom of tmux.conf. tpack must load after all plugin declarations.
