Use¶

To active one of the installed Terraform versions, run the use command in any of the following ways.

Specific version¶

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

tfversion use 1.7.4

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

tfversion use --latest

Tip

The latest version might not be installed yet, as this is a dynamic value. Add the --install flag to automatically install it for you.

You can activate the latest pre-release version to experiment by adding the --pre-release flag.

tfversion use --latest --pre-release

Warning

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

You can activate the required version for your current working directory by adding the --required flag.

terraform use --required

Read more details about how --required works at the install instructions.

To automatically install a missing version when activating, add the --install flag.

tfversion use 1.7.4 --install

tfversion use --latest --install

This is especially handy for options that result in an unknown version number, like --latest, --pre-release and --required.
