Lesson 1 / 37
Getting Started
The pseudo terminal on this page reproduces the feel of the Terraform CLI, so you can practice with nothing installed and no cloud account. No real infrastructure is created. To use real Terraform yourself, here is what you need.
- Terraform: download the binary from the official HashiCorp site, or install it with a package manager such as Homebrew.
- A cloud account with credentials: an AWS, Google Cloud or Azure account, with credentials configured so Terraform can act on your behalf.
- An editor with HCL support: VS Code's Terraform extension gives you syntax highlighting and completion, which helps a great deal.
