Get Latest Terraform (PowerShell script)

Script designed to be set as a scheduled task to update terraform whenever there's a new version. If terraform.exe does not exist, it will be downloaded and installed in specified path

Variables

• [tf_path]: String (required): Path to directory where terraform is located. Example:
  • [C:\tools]
• [tf_arch]: String (required): System architecture:
  • [amd64]: 64-bit
  • [386]: 32-bit

You can set the parameters values in the script file so you don't have to specify them in the command

# Set parameters
param(
	# Terraform path
	[string] $tf_path = "C:\tools",

	# Terraform Arch to be downloaded
	[string] $tf_arch = "amd64"
)
