Install HashiCorp Terraform on a PhotonOS Appliance – LifeOf…

HashiCorp Terraform is not currently available on the Photon OS repository. If you would like to install Terraform on a PhotonOS appliance you can use the script below. Note: The versions for Go and Terraform that I have included are current at the time of writing. Thanks to my colleague Ryan Johnson who shared this method with me some time ago for another project.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Versions
GO_VERSION="1.21.4"
TERRAFORM_VERSION="1.6.3"

# Arch
if [[ $(uname -m) == "x86_64" ]]; then
  LINUX_ARCH="amd64"
elif [[ $(uname -m) == "aarch64" ]]; then
  LINUX_ARCH="arm64"
fi

# Directory
if ! [[ -d ~/code ]]; then
  mkdir ~/code
fi

# Go
wget -q -O go${GO_VERSION}.linux-${LINUX_ARCH}.tar.gz 
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go${GO_VERSION}.linux-${LINUX_ARCH}.tar.gz
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
go version
rm go${GO_VERSION}.linux-${LINUX_ARCH}.tar.gz
export GOPATH=${HOME}/code/go

# HashiCorp
wget -q 
unzip -o -d /usr/local/bin/ terraform_${TERRAFORM_VERSION}_linux_${LINUX_ARCH}.zip
rm ./*.zip
