According to the Terraform documentation for installing Terraform on Linux, it is necessary to download a Zip archive that contains a single binary file called Terraform. Unzip the archive and move the binary file to a directory that is included in your system’s PATH environment variable, such as /usr/local/bin. It is then possible to run the terraform command from any directory without specifying the full path. If the binary file is not moved to the bin directory, a 'command not found' error will be generated when trying to run the Terraform version command, as shown in the screenshot:
To fix this error, move the binary file to the bin directory exp: sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin/ or specify the full path of the binary file when running the command. Verify the Terraform using the following command:
terraform --version |
