Purpose

This article gives a couple options on how to install or setup Terraform on a macOS Sierra system. The first optional way is to use HomeBrew. Which simplifies the install process and makes updating easy too.

Prerequisites

• Homebrew (IF going Homebrew way instead of downloading zip.)

Homebrew (Option 1)

The easiest and quickest way to install Terraform is using Homebrew.

Install Example

A symlink will be created for the binary /usr/local/bin/terraform -> ../Cellar/terraform/0.9.1/bin/terraform

Upgrading

Manually (Option 2)

The versions seem to be bottled up very quickly with HomeBrew so I see little reason why to do a manual install, but this is how you do it.

1. Download binary zip from HashiCorp

   https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

2. Unzip
3. Copy binary to a place in the path such as /usr/local/bin/terraform

Brew Terraform 12

Verify Install

A simple test that the binary is in the path and such is to call the version.
