Huawei Cloud Terraform Installer

Cross-platform Terraform CLI installation with Huawei Cloud mirror by default (avoids GitHub network issues).

Prerequisites

Python 3.6+ (required for installation script)
Network access to:
- releases.hashicorp.com (Terraform binary)
- mirrors.huaweicloud.com (HuaweiCloud Provider)

Platform Support

Platform	Method	Notes
Linux	Binary	Direct binary download
Windows	Binary	Direct download

Why use binary download only?

Simpler and more reliable across all platforms
No dependency on package manager availability
Consistent behavior for troubleshooting

Note: macOS is not currently supported.

Windows Special Notes

Provider installation method:

Use filesystem_mirror (local file mirror)
Download zip from Huawei Cloud mirror, extract to local
Configure terraform.rc to point to local directory

Unsupported methods:

❌ direct (Registry → GitHub): GitHub timeout
❌ network_mirror: Huawei Cloud mirror directory structure incompatible

Quick Start

Basic Installation

# Auto-install (default to Huawei Cloud mirror)
python scripts/install_terraform.py

# Install + Initialize
python scripts/install_terraform.py --init

# Install + Test
python scripts/install_terraform.py --test

# Install specific version
python scripts/install_terraform.py --version 1.15.4

Other Operations

# Check status only

# Uninstall
python scripts/install_terraform.py --uninstall

Mirror Strategy

Resource	Source	Notes
Terraform binary	HashiCorp Releases	Official source
Provider	Huawei Cloud Mirror (default)	Avoid GitHub network issues

Huawei Cloud Mirror: https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/terraform/

Troubleshooting

Issue 2: Permission Denied

[ERROR] Permission denied, please run with administrator privileges

Solution:

Windows: Right-click → Run as administrator
Linux: sudo python3 install_terraform.py

Issue 3: Network Timeout

Solution: Default uses Huawei Cloud mirror, should not encounter this issue
