# Installation for Tmux 2.3 and earlier
2+
3+
The installation steps for Tmux 2.3 are based on
4+
[manual installation](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-copycat#manual-installation)
5+
steps, with the addition of using `tmux-23` branch.
6+
7+
Create tmux plugins dir:
8+
9+
$ mkdir -p ~/.tmux/plugins
10+
11+
Clone the repo:
12+
13+
$ git clone -b tmux-23 https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-copycat ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-copycat
14+
15+
Add this line to the bottom of `.tmux.conf`:
16+
17+
run-shell ~/clone/path/copycat.tmux
18+
19+
Reload TMUX environment with: `$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf`. You should now
20+
be able to use the plugin.
