Install using tpm
If you are a tpm user, you can install the theme and keep up to date by adding the following to your .tmux.conf file:
set -g @plugin 'dracula/tmux'
Add any configuration options below this line in your tmux config.
Install with Nix
If you're using home-manager, an example config would look similar to this:
Then run home-manager switch
, the Activating theme
section doesn't apply here.
programs.tmux = {
enable = true;
clock24 = true;
plugins = with pkgs.tmuxPlugins; [
sensible
yank
{
plugin = dracula;
extraConfig = ''
set -g @dracula-show-battery false
set -g @dracula-show-powerline true
set -g @dracula-refresh-rate 10
'';
}
];
extraConfig = ''
set -g mouse on
'';
};
- Make sure
run -b '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
is at the bottom of your .tmux.conf - Run tmux
- Use the tpm install command:
prefix + I
(default prefix is ctrl+b)
