Fix TPM plugin installation failing outside of tmux#3
Merged
Conversation
TPM's install_plugins script queries the tmux server for TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH, which is unset on a fresh install. Fix by symlinking tmux.conf before plugin install and explicitly setting the variable in tmux's global environment via set-environment.
