   set -g @plugin 'jamesoff/tmux-loadavg'

2. Use prefix–I to install tmux-loadavg.

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository

   $ git clone https://github.com/jamesoff/tmux-loadavg ~/clone/path

2. Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf

   run-shell ~/clone/path/tmux-loadavg.tmux

3. Reload the tmux environment

   # type this inside tmux
   $ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

Use

Edit your status-left or status-right setting to include one of:

• #{load_short} - display the 1min load average
• #{load_full} - display the 1min, 5min and 15min load averages

The values are coloured green, orange or red depending on how they compare to the number of CPUs you have.

For example in .tmux.conf:

# display 1min load average and hostname on right of status bar
set -g status-right " #{load_short} #h"

Reload your configuration for it to take effect: prefix-R with TPM, or

$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
