Install Terraform on Windows 8/10
- Download terraform for windows
- Note: Terraform is packaged as a zip archive, so after downloading Terraform, unzip the package. Terraform runs as a single binary named terraform. Any other files in the package can be safely removed and Terraform will still function
- Copy files from the zip to “c:\terraform” for example. That’s our terraform PATH.
- The final step is to make sure that the terraform binary is available on the PATH.
- In Search, search for and then select: System (Control Panel)

- In the Edit System Variable (or New System Variable) window, append at the end of the PATH environment variable the value of terraform path ex.”c:\terraform;” .
- Click OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK.
- Reopen Command prompt window, and run terraform.
