Installing Terraform

Install the CLI

• Download a release from HashiCorp's site, or
• Use a package manager (for example Homebrew, Chocolatey, or your distro's packages)
• Some teams use tfenv or asdf to switch versions

Check the version

Open a new terminal after install.

terraform version

Create a practice folder

Keep each mini-project in its own directory with its own state.

mkdir tf-hello && cd tf-hello

Optional: enable autocomplete

Helpful once you use many subcommands.

terraform -install-autocomplete
