Some editors have built-in logic to install and update the language server automatically, so you typically shouldn't need to worry about installation or updating of the server in these editors, as long as you use the linked extension.
- Terraform VS Code extension stable / preview
- Sublime Text LSP-terraform
You can install the language server manually using one of the many package managers available or download an archive from the release page. After installation, follow the install instructions for your IDE
You can install via Homebrew
brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform-ls
This tap only contains stable releases (i.e. no pre-releases).
We support Debian & Ubuntu via apt and RHEL, CentOS, Fedora and Amazon Linux via RPM.
You can follow the instructions in the Official Packaging Guide to install the server from the official HashiCorp-maintained repositories. The package name is terraform-ls in all repositories.
As documented in the Guide linked above, pre-releases are available through test repos.
- Download for the latest version of the language server relevant for your operating system and architecture.
- The language server is distributed as a single binary.
Install it by unzipping it and moving it to a directory
included in your system's
PATH. - You can verify integrity by comparing the SHA256 checksums
which are part of the release (called
terraform-ls_<VERSION>_SHA256SUMS). - Check that you have installed the server correctly via
terraform-ls -v. You should see the latest version printed to your terminal.
