In this blog post, we will upgrade a Terraform installation on Ubuntu Linux machine.
The process to upgrade Terraform is a bit different compared to other distributions. First, we need to find where Terraform is installed. We then remove the binary file and download a new one.
Find Binary location
First, let’s find where the Terraform binary installation is located using the following command.
which terraform
The expected location is /usr/local/bin
Open the location and delete the Terraform binary using the following command.
sudo rm terraform
Now let’s download the latest Terraform binary using the following command. ( The latest version is located in https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html)
sudo wget sudo wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.0.6/terraform_1.0.6_linux_amd64.zip
Unzip and Use
The last step will unzip the binary from the downloaded file and make Terraform available for use.
unzip terraform_1.0.6_linux_amd64.zip
Note: To install the Terraform Autocomplete command helper run terraform -install-autocomplete
At this stage, Terraform is ready, and we could check the version by using the command below.
terraform --version
The output is shown below.
Terraform v1.0.6
on linux_amd64
You can go ahead and delete the zip file.
