Terraform Download For Mac



I download the plugin for Mac and copied the plugin to /.terraform.d/plugins dir. When I run terraform init it doesn't find the local plugin, instead it is trying to find from hashicorp site. Terraform init 2020/08/21 16:42:58 WARN Log levels other than TRACE are currently unreliable, and are supported only for backward compatibility. To install Terraform, find the appropriate package for your system and download it as a zip archive. After downloading Terraform, unzip the package. Terraform runs as a single binary named terraform. Any other files in the package can be safely removed and Terraform will still function.

Terraform is an automation tool created by HashiCorp. It focuses on deploying cloud infrastructure in an automatic fashion. It supports many cloud providers, like AWS, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack, VMware vSphere, and more. Terraform is developed in GoLang, which makes the installation really easy to perform, and allows for a lot of operating systems to be supported.


In this lab, we will see how to create a Red Hat RHEL 7 Terraform template for VMware vSphere.

1- Create a new virtual machine.

2- Choose a name for your virtual machine template.

3- Select a temporary compute resource for the virtual machine.

4- Select a datastore for the virtual machine.

5- Select the vSphere compatibility for the virtual machine.

6- Select 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (64-bit)' as guest OS for the virtual machine.

7- Choose a temporary network for the virtual machine.

8- Add the RHEL 7 ISO to the CD/DVD drive of the virtual machine.

9- Connect the CD/DVD drive at boot.

11- Validate the creation of the virtual machine.

12- Power on the virtual machine.

13- Launch the vSphere web console.

1- Launch the RHEL installer.

2- Select the language of the installer.

Terraform Version

3- Select the installation disk.

4- Configure the network card of the virtual machine with a temporary configuration.

5- Start the installation.

6- Configure the root password.

7- Configure an administrator user.

8- Reboot the virtual machine.

9- SSH to the new RHEL virtual machine.

10- Register your new RHEL machine to access the Red Hat repositories.

note: If you don't already have a Red Hat account, you can create a Red Hat developer account for free and register up to 16 RHEL servers.

11- Upgrade the RHEL packages.

12- Install Perl.

13- Install open-vm-tools

14- Reboot the virtual machine.

1- SSH to the new RHEL virtual machine.

2- Unregister your RHEL machine.

3- Remove the temporary network configuration.

3- Power off the RHEL virtual machine.

4- Edit the settings of the virtual machine.

5- Set back the network card to 'VM Network'.

6- Set back the CD/DVD drive to 'Client Device'.

7- Validate the modification.

1- Convert the virtual machine to a vSphere template.

Installing Terraform

Download Terraform Windows

This is an example on how to install Terraform on your Linux desktop. Terraform is also available for Mac OSX and Windows.

1- Download Terraform.

2- Unzip the archive.

3- Copy the binary to your path.

Launching a new virtual machine based on the template

Terraform Download File

1- Clone the Terraform script repository.

2- Initialise Terraform.

3- Configure the deployment (modify accordingly).

4- Deploy the virtual machine.

5- Test to access the virtual machine.

6- Destroy the virtual machine.

Congratulations! You can now use this RHEL 7 template to deploy vSphere virtual machines with Terraform.

This topic provides instructions for downloading and installing both Terraform and the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Terraform provider, and provides a brief introduction to the key concepts for understanding and using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Terraform provider.

Terraform Overview

Terraform is 'infrastructure-as-code' software that allows you to define your infrastructure resources in files that you can persist, version, and share. These files describe the steps required to provision your infrastructure and maintain its desired state; it then executes these steps and builds out the described infrastructure.

Terraform’s configuration and execution building blocks are modules, which are self-contained configuration packages. You can use these modules to organize your code and to create reusable components. HashiCorp, the developer of Terraform, provides a library of open-source Terraform modules “out of the box” to support many common tasks.

To use Terraform for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must download two components - Terraform from HashiCorp, and then the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Terraform provider.
