Mac Installation

Manual Installation

In case you need to switch back and forth between Terraform versions on the same system, manual installation is preferable to a brew-driven installation.

Download the latest version from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html.

Older versions can be downloaded from https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/.

cd /opt
mkdir ./terraform
wget wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.13/terraform_0.12.13_darwin_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_0.12.13_darwin_amd64.zip
mv terraform terraform-0.12.13
rm terraform_0.12.13_darwin_amd64.zip
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /opt/terraform/terraform-0.12.13 ./terraform

Brew

Note that is a bit complicated to switch between terraform version when Terraform is installed with brew. For that reason, if you need to often switch between version and return back to a specific version, install Terraform manually as shown below in "Manual Installation".

brew install terraform

Install a specific version

Follow the procedure described here, adjusted for terraform:

Install a Specific Version with brew

Linux

wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.14/terraform_0.12.14_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_0.12.14_linux_amd64.zip

This will create a simple "terraform" binary that can be placed anywhere on the PATH.
