Note to self.
When I set up a new Mac, I like to install Powerline for tmux. Powerline documentation recommends installing using:
pip install --user git+git://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline
This install Powerline into the user directory, to
~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/powerline
. When I fire up tmux
I don’t get the “segments” that are usually found at the bottom right of the
screen. This happens because they rely on the powerline
executable, which
was installed to ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/
. This path isn’t in my $PATH by
default.
Solution: Add ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/
to $PATH.
