Install

Installing a Terraform version can be done in a few ways.

Specific version

You can install a specific version by calling the install command with a version number.

tfversion install 1.7.4

Latest stable

If you just want the latest stable version, you can use the --latest flag.

tfversion install --latest

Latest pre-release

If you want to experiment with the latest pre-release version, you can use the --pre-release flag.

tfversion install --latest --pre-release

Warning

When using --pre-release, you must always add --latest as well.

Required version

If you have specific a required_version in any Terraform (.tf or .hcl) file in the current working directory, you can install the latest matching version automatically by using the --required flag.

tfversion install --required

Note

tfversion uses the first Terraform file with a required_version in it. If you have multiple, the others will be ignored.

Uninstall

After upgrading all your codebases to a more recent version of Terraform, you might want to uninstall old versions. For this you can use the uninstall command.

tfversion uninstall 1.7.4

Warning

tfversion does not check if an alias to a version exists when uninstalling. Uninstalling a version with active aliases will cause that alias to break as well.
