Installation

Prerequisite

FreeBSD

Install required packages:

pkg install git gcc gmake bash tmux zh-librime zh-fcitx-rime

You may need to create a symobol link called python to link to python3.X

mkdir ~/bin
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3.8 ~/bin/python

Create a empty directory /usr/share/rime-data (I know it’s a bad practice in FreeBSD), and put all your rime configs into /.config/tmux_rime/rime/.

You may also copy the default configs (under /usr/local/share/rime-data):

sudo touch /usr/share/rime-data
mkdir -p ~/.config/tmux_rime
cp -r /usr/local/share/rime-data ~/.config/tmux_rime/rime

Building

Clone the repo and build it:

mkdir -p ~/.tmux/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/Cycatz/tmux-rime.git ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-rime
cd ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-rime
./build.sh

Add the following line to your tmux config, e.g., ~/.tmux.conf:

run-shell '~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-rime/tmux_rime.tmux'
