A simple `tar -xvf` can replace the separate `gunzip` and `tar` processes.
- pkrumins 14y ago
  Do you mean `tar -xzvf`?
  - atsaloli 14y ago
    Yes, formally. You don't have to specify -z in GNU tar today, you can just say -x and it'll add -z or -j for you -- it figures out on the fly if the archive's been compressed and how. Very convenient.
    - dminor 14y ago
      You can also leave off the dash: `tar xvf`
      - riquito 14y ago
        And you may skip verbose too: `tar xf`
- jlogsdon 14y ago
  You can bypass writing the archive to disk, as well: pushd /tmp && \ curl 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tmux/tmux/tmux-1.8/tmux-1.8.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Ftmux.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1364579710&use_mirror=garr'| tar xvf && \ cd tmux-1.8 && \ ./configure --prefix=~/installs/tmux-1.8 && \ mkdir ~/installs && \ make && \ make install && \ popd

Shouldn't you be using checkinstall instead of 'make install' to make removal of the package easier in the future?
- pkrumins 14y ago
  Not if you do local installs. You can remove the package simply by: rm -rf ~/installs/tmux-1.8

thanks @pkrumins - the download/compile/install cycle took about 30 seconds - the compiled executable seems to work perfectly.

instead of make install, consider checkinstall or fpm so that you are properly integrated into ubuntu's native package manager (dpkg). Doing so will save you headaches when you want to uninstall tmux or upgrade later.
