Install Terraform on an Ubuntu Server
Terraform by Hashicorp is a powerful tool that you can use to manage your infrastructure as code. It is distributed as a single binary so getting it installed on Ubuntu is a breeze.
- Assuming you are on a "standard" computer or server. From the downloads page copy the URL for the 64-bit Linux package. At the time of writing this was:
https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.11.7/terraform_0.11.7_linux_amd64.zip - SSH into your ubuntu server and execute
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.11.7/terraform_0.11.7_linux_amd64.zip - Unzip this file (you may need to install the unzip package with
sudo apt-get install unzip) - Move the file to the
/usr/local/bin directorywithsudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin/
terraform -version in your terminal. Your output should look something like this.ubuntu@ip-172-26-5-139:~$ terraform -version Terraform v0.11.7You should now be able to execute the
terraform command from anywhere and manage your infrastructure as code.Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
