setting up terraform v0.14.0 on Apple M1

Question

Any pointers how to setup Terraform v0.14.0 on a Apple M1 , as tfenv doesn't support v0.14.0 on Apple M1

tfenv install v0.14.0

Answer 1

You can set the env var TFENV_ARCH and use tfenv

TFENV_ARCH=amd64 tfenv install 0.14.0

Answer 2

If you are using tfenv, you can override the architecture with TFENV_ARCH environment variables: TFENV_ARCH=amd64. See docs.

If you are not using tfenv:

Terraform is a simple executable, you can download it and unzip it from here: https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.14.0/:

wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.14.0/terraform_0.14.0_darwin_amd64.zip

unzip terraform_0.14.0_darwin_amd64.zip

Please note, there is no arm64 build for osx, but the amd64 works just fine on a Mac M1.

Now you can copy the extracted executable in a folder like /usr/local/bin, which should be on your PATH, so you can run terraform command from anywhere in your system.
