Install Terraform

Become root user, and let's perform a few updates

ubuntu@deploymentmachine:~$ sudo -i

Hashicorp provides a very useful tuturial on how to install Terraform, depending on your OS:

Since my machine is on Ubuntu, I will perform the Linux steps:

  • Add key and official repository


root@deploymentmachine:~# curl -fsSL https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
OK
root@deploymentmachine:~# apt-add-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main"

Setup Terraform for OCI Cloud

You will need to provide the following environment variables:

export TF_VAR_tenancy_ocid="ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaasomefaketenancyidinhereaaaaa323423421"
export TF_VAR_compartment_ocid="ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaasomefakecompartmentidinhereaaaaa323423422"
export TF_VAR_user_ocid="ocid1.user.oc1..aaaaaasomefakeuseridinhereaaaaa323423423"
export TF_VAR_fingerprint="2x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
export TF_VAR_private_key_path="/root/.oci/oci_api_private_key.pem"

In case you have not setup your .oci folder or you are not aware how to find these details, check my tutorial on - it explains step by step how to setup a fingerprint, a private key and how to find the rest of required information.

Once you have completed all these steps, go to next tutorial, to make sure your configuration is setup correctly.
