What the installer does

The prebuilt installer downloads the latest release for your platform, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and places vmux in ~/.local/bin. Set VMUX_INSTALL_DIR to choose another directory.

Update or remove vmux

Run the installer again to replace a prebuilt binary, or use cargo install vmux-tui --force for a Cargo installation. To uninstall, remove the installed binary; Cargo users can run cargo uninstall vmux-tui.
