Terraform is an open-source infrastructure automation tool that is used to provision and manage infrastructure as code. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Terraform on Void Linux.
Before installing Terraform, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
To download Terraform, first, we need to install wget, which is a command-line utility for downloading files from the web.
sudo xbps-install -S wget
To download the latest version of Terraform, we will use the wget command-line utility.
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.0.4/terraform_1.0.4_linux_amd64.zip
This will download the Terraform binary in a compressed format. To access Terraform, we need to extract the binary from the zip file.
sudo mkdir /usr/local/terraform
sudo unzip terraform_1.0.4_linux_amd64.zip -d /usr/local/terraform/
This will create a new directory /usr/local/terraform and extract the Terraform binary inside it.
To use Terraform seamlessly, we need to add the terraform binary to the PATH environment variable.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/terraform
This will add Terraform to the environment variable, allowing you to use the binary from any directory.
To verify if Terraform is correctly installed, run the following command:
terraform --version
This will display the current version of Terraform installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Terraform on your Void Linux system. You can now use Terraform to manage infrastructure as code.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
