Installing Terraform

 

 

You will need to install Terraform on your seed machine in order to run through the new deployment process.

 

  1. If you have a graphical user interface, go to https://terraform.io/downloads.html and select the package corresponding to your OS.

  2. FROM UNIX COMMAND LINE:
    1. wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.6.6/terraform_0.6.6_linux_amd64.zip
    2. unzip terraform_0.6.6_linux_amd64.zip  -d whatever.directory.you.wish
    3. Add the directory where the unzipped contents are located to your PATH variable
      1. In Unix-based systems, this can be edited by opening ~/.bashrc using your favorite editor, and adding the line PATH=$PATH:<filepath>
      2. In windows, this is done by opening up Windows Explorer, right clicking on This PC, selecting Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables. Select PATH and choose edit. Append the directory to the end of the path variable WITHOUT spaces.
