Thanks from me, too!

Also, I updated the version numbers in the script, and it still worked fine.

libevent version: 2.1.11
tmux version: 3.1

Thanks @otasyn et al. I updated the script to keep the version numbers on top for easier updates.

Thanks for this. You might want to update tmux version to 3.1b (some bugfixes)

Awesome instructions!!!
