Hello! Setting up Terraform v0.14.0 on an Apple M1 machine can be smoothly done using one of the two following methods: Both of these methods leverage the power of version managers, allowing you to easily switch between different Terraform versions without much hassle.
Option 1: Using tfswitch
The tfswitch
tool is a handy utility that allows you to switch between different Terraform versions easily. If you haven't already installed it on your machine, you can do so using Homebrew. Once installed, switching to Terraform version 0.14.0 is a straightforward process.
# Install tfswitch if you haven't done so.
brew install warrensbox/tap/tfswitch
# Switch to Terraform version 0.14.0
tfswitch 0.14.0
This command will download and switch your Terraform to version 0.14.0, making it the active version for your projects.
Option 2: Using tfenv
Another excellent tool for managing Terraform versions is tfenv
. It's similar to tfswitch
but specifically tailored for Terraform. Installing tfenv
and then using it to install a specific Terraform version is also quite simple.
# Install tfenv if you haven't already
brew install tfenv
# Install and use Terraform version 0.14.0.
tfenv install 0.14.0
Note: It seems there might be a typo in your original script under Option 2, where it says tfenv install 0.7.0
. Assuming you're aiming for Terraform version 0.14.0, you should use tfenv install 0.14.0
as shown above.
Both methods are efficient for managing different versions of Terraform on your machine, especially on an Apple M1, ensuring you can work on various projects that may require different versions. Pick the one that best suits your workflow, or feel free to have both at your disposal for greater flexibility.
