Release Information

 

Install Terraform with Specific Version

To install a specific Terraform version we could use tenv, so tenv is a lightweight and versatile Terraform version manager that helps you easily install, switch, and manage multiple Terraform versions on your local machine. With tenv, you can ensure your projects always use the correct Terraform version without manual downloads or complex configurations. It’s especially useful for teams working on multiple infrastructure-as-code projects that require different Terraform versions.

Install the tenv with the latest version

If you use the package manager Homebrew, run the brew install command in your terminal to install tenv:

  brew install tenv

Install tenv with the latest version.
