Purpose
This article gives a couple options on how to install or setup Terraform on a macOS Sierra system. The first optional way is to use HomeBrew. Which simplifies the install process and makes updating easy too.
Download Terraform 0.11.14 For Mac
Prerequisites
- Homebrew (IF going Homebrew way instead of downloading zip.)
Homebrew (Option 1)
The easiest and quickest way to install Terraform is using Homebrew.
Install Example
A symlink will be created for the binary /usr/local/bin/terraform -> ../Cellar/terraform/0.9.1/bin/terraform
Upgrading
Download Terraform Windows
Manually (Option 2)
The versions seem to be bottled up very quickly with HomeBrew so I see little reason why to do a manual install, but this is how you do it.
- Download binary zip from HashiCorp
- https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html
- Unzip
- Copy binary to a place in the path such as /usr/local/bin/terraform
Verify Install
A simple test that the binary is in the path and such is to call the version.
