Recently, I started setting up Rocky Linux 9 servers only to find that byobu
is not on the standard repos or epel-release
. For me, the easiset way to install it was to build it from source.
Before we start, there are a few dependencies you'll need to install. In my case, it was as simple as running:
sudo dnf install -y tar screen tmux make wget
Once that's installed, you're ready to go! I made a script that you can create on your server. If you want the latest version of byobu
you'll need to update the BYOBU_VERSION
variable on the script (check the version numbers here).
The way I make this on the server is,
vim /tmp/byobu.sh
# :set paste
# press enter
# i
# paste
chmod +x /tmp/byobu.sh
/tmp/byobu.sh
Enjoy byobu
on your server :)
