Answer 1

here I'm providing solution to setup terraform enviroment variable in windows to beginners.

1. Download the terraform package from portal either 32/64 bit version.
2. make a folder in C drive in program files if its 32 bit package you have to create folder inside on programs(x86) folder or else inside programs(64 bit) folder.
3. Extract a downloaded file in this location or copy terraform.exe file into this folder. copy this path location like C:\Programfile\terraform\
4. Then got to Control Panel -> System -> System settings -> Environment Variables

Open system variables, select the path > edit > new > place the terraform.exe file location like > C:\Programfile\terraform\

and Save it.

5. Open new terminal and now check the terraform.

Answer 2

Or you can just run power-shell command to append extra folder to the existing path:

$env:Path += ";C:\temp\terraform" 

Answer 3

I had issues for a whilst not getting Terraform commands to run unless I was in the directory of the exe, even though I set the path correctly.

For anyone else finding this issue, I fixed it by moving the environment variable higher than others!

Answer 4

The path is in the registry but usually you edit through this interface:

1. Go to Control Panel -> System -> System settings -> Environment Variables.
2. Scroll down in system variables until you find PATH.
3. Click edit and change accordingly.
4. BE SURE to include a semicolon at the end of the previous as that is the delimiter, i.e. c:\path;c:\path2
5. Launch a new console for the settings to take effect.

Why don't you create a bat file makedos.bat containing the following line?

c:\DOS\make.exe %1 %2 %5

and put it in C:\DOS (or C:\Windowsè or make sure that it is in your %path%)

You can run from cmd, SET and it displays all environment variables, including PATH.

In registry you can find environment variables under:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment
