Installing Terraform
You will need to install Terraform on your seed machine in order to run through the new deployment process.
- If you have a graphical user interface, go to https://terraform.io/downloads.html and select the package corresponding to your OS.
- FROM UNIX COMMAND LINE:
- wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.6.6/terraform_0.6.6_linux_amd64.zip
- unzip terraform_0.6.6_linux_amd64.zip -d whatever.directory.you.wish
- Add the directory where the unzipped contents are located to your PATH variable
- In Unix-based systems, this can be edited by opening ~/.bashrc using your favorite editor, and adding the line PATH=$PATH:<filepath>
- 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.
***Reload or open a new terminal so the update to your PATH is recognized.
