The HashiCorp Yum repositories contain distribution-specific Terraform

packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and Amazon Linux systems.

# Yum/DNF Packages for RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora
|
|
|
|
The primary distribution packages for Terraform are `.zip` archives containing
|
|
single executable files that you can extract anywhere on your system. However,
|
|
for easier integration with configuration management tools and other systematic
|
|
system configuration strategies, we also offer package repositories for
|
|
RedHat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and Amazon Linux systems, which allow you to
|
|
install Terraform using the `yum install` or `dnf install` commands.
|
|
|
|
If you are instead using Debian or Ubuntu, you
|
|
might prefer to [install Terraform from our APT repositories](/cli/install/apt).
|
|
|
|
-> **Note:** The Yum repositories discussed on this page are generic HashiCorp
|
|
repositories that contain packages for a variety of different HashiCorp
|
|
products, rather than just Terraform. Adding these repositories to your
|
|
system will, by default, therefore make a number of other non-Terraform
|
|
packages available for installation. That might then mask the packages that are
|
|
available for some HashiCorp products in the main distribution repositories.
|
|
|
|
## Repository Configuration
|
|
|
|
Before adding a repository you must determine which distribution you are using.
|
|
The following command lines refer to a placeholder variable `$release` which
|
|
you must replace with the appropriate value from the following list:
|
|
|
|
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux: `RHEL`
|
|
* Fedora: `fedora`
|
|
* Amazon Linux: `AmazonLinux`
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Yum-based distribution, add the repository using
|
|
`yum-config-manager` as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo yum install -y yum-utils
|
|
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/$release/hashicorp.repo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using a DNF-based distribution, add the repository using
|
|
`dnf config-manager` as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
|
|
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/$release/hashicorp.repo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In both cases, the Terraform package name is `terraform`. For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yum install terraform
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Supported Architectures
|
|
|
|
The HashiCorp Yum/DNF server currently has packages only for the `x86_64`
|
|
architecture, which is also sometimes known as `amd64`.
|
|
|
|
There are no official packages available for other architectures, such as
|
|
`aarch64`. If you wish to use Terraform on a non-`x86_64` system,
|
|
[download a normal release `.zip` file](/downloads) instead.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Distribution Releases
|
|
|
|
The HashiCorp Yum server currently contains release repositories for the
|
|
following distribution releases:
|
|
|
|
* AmazonLinux 2
|
|
* Fedora 29
|
|
* Fedora 30
|
|
* Fedora 31
|
|
* Fedora 32
|
|
* Fedora 33
|
|
* RHEL 7 (and CentOS 7)
|
|
* RHEL 8 (and CentOS 8)
|
|
|
|
No repositories are available for other versions of these distributions or for
|
|
any other RPM-based Linux distributions. If you add the repository using
|
|
the above commands on other systems then you will see a 404 Not Found error.
|
|
|
|
Over time we will change the set of supported distributions, including both
|
|
adding support for new releases and ceasing to publish new Terraform versions
|
|
under older releases.
|
|
|
|
## Choosing Terraform Versions
|
|
|
|
The HashiCorp Yum repositories contain multiple versions of Terraform, but
|
|
because the packages are all named `terraform` it is impossible to install
|
|
more than one version at a time, and `yum install` or `dnf install` will
|
|
default to selecting the latest version.
|
|
|
|
It's often necessary to match your Terraform version with what a particular
|
|
configuration is currently expecting. You can use the following command to
|
|
see which versions are currently available in the repository index:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yum --showduplicate list terraform
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can select a specific version to install by including it in the
|
|
`yum install` command line, as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yum install terraform-0.14.0-2.x86_64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using a DNF-based distribution, similar use `dnf` instead of `yum`
|
|
when following the above steps.
|
|
|
|
If your workflow requires using multiple versions of Terraform at the same
|
|
time, for example when working through a gradual upgrade where not all
|
|
of your configurations are upgraded yet, we recommend that you use the
|
|
official release `.zip` files instead of the Yum packages, so you can install
|
|
multiple versions at once and then select which to use for each command you
|
|
run.
