Terraform Installation Guide

This guide provides all the key information and getting-started instructions after a successful Terraform installation via DeploySage-CLI. This installation uses tfenv, a powerful version manager for Terraform.

Core Workflow​

The standard Terraform workflow consists of three main commands:

After you are done, you can tear down all managed infrastructure with terraform destroy.

# 1. Initialize the working directory
terraform init

# 2. Review the execution plan
terraform plan

# 3. Apply the changes to create infrastructure
terraform apply

Version Management with tfenv​

tfenv allows you to install and switch between different versions of Terraform seamlessly.

# List all available remote versions of Terraform
tfenv list-remote

# Install a specific version of Terraform
tfenv install 1.8.5

# Switch to use a specific version in your current shell
tfenv use 1.8.5

# List all locally installed versions
tfenv list
