APT Packages for Debian and Ubuntu
The primary distribution packages for OpenTF are .zip archives containing
single executable files that you can extract anywhere on your system. However,
for easier integration with configuration management tools and other systematic
system configuration strategies, we also offer package repositories for
Debian and Ubuntu systems, which allow you to install OpenTF using the
apt install command or any other APT frontend.
If you are instead using Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or Fedora, you might prefer to install OpenTF from our Yum repositories.
Repository Configuration
Please follow the instructions in the Official Packaging Guide.
Supported Architectures
The OpenTF APT server has packages only for the amd64
architecture, which is also sometimes known as x86_64.
There are no official packages available for other architectures, such as
arm64. If you wish to use OpenTF on a non-amd64 system,
download a normal release .zip file instead.
Installing a Specific Version of OpenTF
The OpenTF APT repositories contain multiple versions of OpenTF, but
because the packages are all named opentf it is impossible to install
more than one version at a time, and apt install will default to selecting
the latest version.
It's often necessary to match your OpenTF version with what a particular configuration is currently expecting. You can use the following command to see which versions are currently available in the repository index:
apt policy opentf
If your workflow requires using multiple versions of OpenTF at the same
time, for example when working through a gradual upgrade where not all
of your configurations are upgraded yet, we recommend that you use the
official release .zip files instead of the APT packages, so you can install
multiple versions at once and then select which to use for each command you
run.
All published packages include a revision number by
default, starting with -1. This change means that in the case that we need
to publish an updated package for any reason, installers can automatically
retrieve the latest revision.
You can install the latest revision for a particular version by including the
version in the apt install command, as follows:
sudo apt install opentf=1.4.4-*
