Installing Terraform on CentOS 7 and Windows 10

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

CentOS:

Download Terraform:

For current version check this page.

curl -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.20/terraform_0.12.20_linux_amd64.zip
Check where to unzip package:

Find out executable path
[root@localhost ja]# echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
unzip terraform_0.12.20_linux_amd64.zip -d /usr/bin/
Verify Installation
[root@localhost ja]# terraform -v
Terraform v0.12.20
Terraform needs configuration file with tf extension in the directory we run them from. They don’t take files from subdirectories.
mkdir terraform-templates && cd terraform-templates
Create empty configuration file and apply it
touch template.tf
terraform apply

Windows 10:

Download package, extract terraform.exe to folder of you choice (i already had folder named kubernetes so i copied terraform.exe there)

In system variables click on Path-New-type C:\kubernets

Open command prompt and type terraform -v
