Before using the Streamkap Terraform Provider, you need to install the Terraform CLI on your machine.

​
macOS

Homebrew is the most popular package manager for macOS. 
# Add the HashiCorp tap
brew tap hashicorp/tap

# Install Terraform
brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform

# Verify installation
terraform --version
To upgrade Terraform later, run brew upgrade hashicorp/tap/terraform

​
MacPorts

If you use MacPorts, Terraform is available in the ports collection: 
sudo port install terraform

# Verify installation
terraform --version

​
Windows

Chocolatey is a popular package manager for Windows. 
# Run in an elevated PowerShell prompt (Run as Administrator)
choco install terraform

# Verify installation
terraform --version

​
Scoop

Scoop is another package manager for Windows: 
scoop install terraform

# Verify installation
terraform --version

​
Manual Installation

  1. Download the appropriate package from the Terraform downloads page
  2. Extract the zip archive
  3. Move terraform.exe to a directory in your system PATH (e.g., C:\Windows\System32 or create a dedicated directory)
  4. Open a new command prompt and verify: terraform --version

​
Linux

​
Ubuntu/Debian (APT)

# Add HashiCorp GPG key
wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg

# Add the official HashiCorp repository
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list

# Update and install
sudo apt update && sudo apt install terraform

# Verify installation
terraform --version

​
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora (DNF/YUM)

# Add HashiCorp repository
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/RHEL/hashicorp.repo

# Install Terraform
sudo dnf install terraform

# Verify installation
terraform --version

​
Troubleshooting

Ensure the Terraform binary is in your system PATH. You may need to restart your terminal or shell session after installation.
If you encounter permission errors, ensure you’re using sudo where required, or check that your user has write access to the installation directory.
If you have an older version installed via a different method, uninstall it first before using a package manager. For Homebrew: brew unlink terraform before installing the HashiCorp tap version.
