All plugin installation examples use the configuration file ~/.tmux.conf as if it exists. I don't have this file anywhere, the attempt to create it manually and add plugins is simply ignored.
Where is this file located?
Why the attempt to install the plugin manager is simply ignored.
I'm cloning a repository.
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
I create an ~/.tmux.conf file with my hands and insert the following contents into it.
# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
I specify the path to the files and restart tmux. Nothing happens, I tried to add different plugins and nothing.
tmux source ~/.tmux.conf
My final configuration file:
# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
set -g @plugin 'dracula/tmux'
# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
