Is there a way to get a multiplexing terminal on RHEL 7 Atomic?

I would like to ssh to an instance of RHEL 7 Atomic and have multiple persistent terminals open on it (so that if my connection is lost, I can ssh back in and pick up where I left off). Normally I use screen for this, but tmux and probably others normally provide such capability. It seems like an obvious thing to have, but I can't find it on this platform.

The restrictions on RHEL 7 Atomic:

  • Very little is installed
  • No ability to install packages with yum / rpm
  • Cannot update OS to anything except official Red Hat images
  • No ability to compile anything

What's a good way to accomplish my goal?

Solution

  • Apparently I am just blind. tmux is installed on Atomic.
