Upgrade terraform to specific version

For anyone looking to do the same without using homebrew:

1. Get source

$ wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.11.14/terraform_0.11.14_linux_amd64.zip

$ unzip terraform_0.11.14_linux_amd64.zip

2. Give binary executable permissions and install (will overwrite current version)

$ chmod +x terraform

$ sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin/

3. Confirm version

$ terraform --version

Especially when playing around with Terraform 0.12 betas, I learned to love tfenv.

After installation (via brew install tfenv on MacOS), this allows you to easily discover, install and activate any Terraform version:

$ tfenv list-remote
0.12.0
0.12.0-rc1
0.12.0-beta2
0.12.0-beta1
0.12.0
0.11.14
...

$ tfenv install 0.11.14
[INFO] Installing Terraform v0.11.14
[INFO] Downloading release tarball from https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.11.14/terraform_0.11.14_darwin_amd64.zip
...
[INFO] Installation of terraform v0.11.14 successful
[INFO] Switching to v0.11.14

If you want to switch to a different version:

$ tfenv use 0.12.0
