not working?

[backpropper]

I am running macOS Catalina 10.15.5, iTerm2 3.3.11, tmux 3.1b. I also tested it on CentOS 7.7.1908 and found the same behavior. I am assuming it is not installed even though I followed the steps in README and didn't give any errors. I am using tpm. I added the specified string in README

set -g status-right '#{cpu_bg_color} CPU: #{cpu_icon} #{cpu_percentage} | %a %h-%d %H:%M '

to my .tmux.conf. It still only shows the letters and seems to not parse the tags.

ok so the issue was that I wasn't adding the plugin lines at the end.

@kaykhancheckpoint this works for me

the order of lines is important here
