Hi, I'm brand new to unraid.

 

I know most things should be done in VMs and/or Docker, but I just want to have a few tools like tmux installed in the base system. I tried yum, apt-get, apk, and pkgtool, but none of them were installed. I also tried building tmux from source, but there's no make or g++ either.

 

I feel like there's gotta be something that I'm missing (?)

unRaid is based on Slackware, so no package manager.  Much of what anyone would need would be available within either the Nerd Pack plugin or Dev Pack plugin.

Cool, thank you!

 

For others (and myself in 6 months), here are some links:

 

Nerd Pack (includes tmux):

 - source, including current list of packages is at https://github.com/dmacias72/unRAID-NerdPack

 

Dev Pack:

Also, for reference: just installing the plugin doesn't actually do anything, you have to then open the plugin's settings, turn the tools you want "on" and then hit Apply to actually install things like tmux.

In my case, after that, running tmux fails with "open terminal failed: missing or unsuitable terminal: xterm-256color" - however, running "TERM=xterm tmux" does work, but then it had other issues (like `more` doesn't output the correct number of lines, and [backspace] inserts a space.) I gave up on tmux and switched to screen, which was also installable via the Nerd Pack. I prefer tmux, but screen actually works, so it'll do for now.
