Command: get

The terraform get command is used to download and update modules.

Usage

Usage: terraform get [options] [dir]

The modules are downloaded into a local .terraform folder. This folder should not be committed to version control.

If a module is already downloaded and the -update flag is not set, Terraform will do nothing. As a result, it is safe (and fast) to run this command multiple times.

The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:

• -update - If specified, modules that are already downloaded will be checked for updates and the updates will be downloaded if present.
