Depends on compiling sources #18

It is unusual to recompile code on a server platform. It is preferred to use installed packages, either using apt-get or yum. This way no compiler toolchain is needed on the targeted platform.

The main problem is that we can't execute anything with elevated rights at this point. Perhaps we should add an interactive mode where we allow that. We do detect if tmux is installed, so when you know, you can install it via the package manager and then run the script which will just symlink the existing tmux.

Another solution would be to always have the user install the script manually.
