I want to completely remove terraform v0.11.14 from my ubuntu 18 and install the new version. I'm unable to find any document or articles on web about this..
See How to uninstall terraform and install newer version of terraform on windows 10 linux subsystem?
To install it you typically copy the binary to /usr/local/bin, so to uninstall it just delete the binary from the installation location. If you don't know the the location, just run 'which terraform' to find it.

title says it all. I have been using nodejs with npm for while now and it has been working fine, but I went to check the version and noticed it was an older one. Nodejs - version 8.10.0 and npm - version 3.5.2. I know there are more recent versions of each and like I said I went to download the new version of Nodejs and I got it. I have the path set up to its location in my Environment Variable. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Would love any help.
Edit: Forgot to mention on my original post that I am on Windows.
Edit2: So I was looking at it more and I am using the Ubuntu Bash Shell on muy windows computer. Whenever I check the version in the normal Windows Command Prompt it displays the right version, but when I check it in the Bash shell it is wrong. Any ideas why this happens?
The Node Version Manager. You can find it at https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows
It allows you to easily install and manage multiple versions of node. Here's a snippet from the help:
Usage:
nvm install <version> Download and install a <version>
nvm use <version> Modify PATH to use <version>
nvm ls List versions (installed versions)
install and Usage:
nvm install 6.14.4 # or 10.10.0, 8.9.1, etc
and then
nvm use 6.14.4
So, I was able to solve my own issue
These two links were very important for solving my issue:
E: Unable to locate package npm
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10#update-to-wsl-2
So basically after uninstalling nodejs I went and tried uninstalling and reinstalling my Ubuntu Bash shell. Once I had the Bash shell set up again I tried running the commands listed in the stackoverflow post I have listed above. (note: When you run the curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash - line you need to adjust the "setup" version to 14.x) When I ran all the commands I was able to get my npm version up-to-date, but my nodejs was still being stuck at version 10.x. I tried running the install again on nodejs and thats when I noticed an error reading gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed I did some research on this error and foudn out my WSL1 would not allow it to update to the most recent version. Thats how I found my way to the Microsoft page that led to me needing to update my version of Windows to 1909 and then installing WSL2 through Power Shell. Everything is now up-to-date and working!
You could Uninstall both versions and reinstall the newer version. That should do it
Or better still download the NVM and follow the instructions from here

I am trying to work with the Hugo static site generator.
Problem: Hugo is saying it is updated to the latest version but it is not.
$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.40.1 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2018-04-25T17:16:11Z
But the latest version is now v0.70.0
System:
Windows Subsystem for Linux via the terminal in Visual Studio Code v1.45.0
Any help would be much appreciated thank you all.
If you're using a Debian-based system, e.g. Ubuntu, you can download the appropriate .deb from https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases and install it with, for example:
sudo dpkg --install ./hugo_extended_0.70.0_Linux-64bit.deb
I wrote about this in footnote 10 in my Hugo Tutorial.
If you've installed it via the apt package manager, you might be out of luck there, because the official repositories might not be up to date with the latest version of Hugo.
To update the repositories and install the latest available version of hugo, try doing
sudo apt update
sudo apt install hugo
However, I see it's only getting version 0.6x.
If you want to use it on Windows, you could try installing it via Chocolatey or Scoop. Both seem to have version 0.70.x in their repositories, but you'd need to install them first, because they're not Windows out-of-the-box software. Not sure if and how it would work if you use it in the WSL, though.
Otherwise, there's always the good'ol download the binary and save it.
The Ubuntu package manager "apt" does not contain the latest version of Hugo right now. It needs to be updated by the repo owner or similar.
I solved my problem by following a binary install guide here
Is there any way to install latest Maven specific version without using wget command in ubuntu 16.
You could try doing what my link below recommends, but add references to Bionic instead of Xenial. Then all you need to do is sudo apt install maven.
Note the current version of support Maven for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) is 3.6.0-1, so if that isn't new enough for you (the latest Maven release is 3.6.2), you'll have to find another way.
https://medium.com/#george.shuklin/how-to-install-packages-from-a-newer-distribution-without-installing-unwanted-6584fa93208f
you could install sdkman on the machine 1st and then use it to install and manage various java-related tools (maven among them), but installing sdkman itself likely involves a wget
I'm start using Terraform and I'm following the project updates on his Github repository.
I see new releases are available on releases section:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/releases
I installed Terraform tool following the steps:
https://www.terraform.io/intro/getting-started/install.html
The new releases are a zip file with base code but I want to know how I can install it on my computer (OSX). What I downloaded when I installed for the first time was a zip file with just a "terraform" file as unix executable.
How I can generate this Unix executable from the zip available on the github releases section?
Any idea?
Thank you!
If you use Homebrew on MacOS already, you can install Terraform simply by
$ brew install terraform
and upgrade by
$ brew upgrade terraform
In fact, you might be interested in letting Homebrew also control other tools:
$ brew install awscli
$ brew install packer
$ brew cask install docker
$ brew cask install virtualbox
$ brew cask install vagrant
There are packages for each OS available on the Downloads Page.
Pick the appropriate package for your OS and download the zip file.
Extract the contents of the zip file, which should be a single terraform binary, into some reasonable location that's in your PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin).
Add execute permissions: e.g. chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/terraform.
Run terraform and make sure you see the help text.
You could download the binary :
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/${TERRAFORM_VERSION}/terraform_${TERRAFORM_VERSION}_linux_amd64.zip
then :
unzip terraform_${TERRAFORM_VERSION}_linux_amd64.zip
then :
mv terraform /usr/local/bin/
make sure to change ${TERRAFORM_VERSION} by the version you want to install
exemple :
0.13.2
**TLDR:
for Installation - brew install terraform
for Upgrade - brew upgrade terraform
for Verification - terraform --version
i'm new to using terraform, but to use terraform with multiple versions i use tfenv as terraform version manager
tfenv command
$ tfenv
tfenv 2.2.3
Usage: tfenv <command> [<options>]
Commands:
install Install a specific version of Terraform
use Switch a version to use
uninstall Uninstall a specific version of Terraform
list List all installed versions
list-remote List all installable versions
version-name Print current version
init Update environment to use tfenv correctly.
pin Write the current active version to ./.terraform-version
terraform currently i use
$ terraform -version
Terraform v1.1.9
on linux_amd64
list of terraform i have
$ tfenv list
1.2.0-rc2
* 1.1.9 (set by /home/takimi/.tfenv/version)
change terraform version
$ tfenv use 1.2.0-rc2
and if you want to use another terraform version you just install it with command tfenv install <terraform version>
Adding this response for the sake of completeness.
Hashicorp came up with their own brew taps for all Hashicorp products for MacOS platforms.
to upgrade ...
brew upgrade hashicorp/tap/{vault|consul|nomad|terraform|packer}
to install ...
brew install hashicorp/tap/{vault|consul|nomad|terraform|packer}
Reference : https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/announcing-hashicorp-homebrew-tap
This is detailed in the repository README under 'Developing Terraform' HERE
Essentially...
Ensure you've installed the GO programming language (version 1.7+ at the time of writing).
Create a GO workspace directory.
Create the $GOPATH environment variable pointing to the GO workspace directory you just created.
Add $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH
Clone the Terraform repo (or extract zip) to $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/terraform
Run make dev within the Terraform repo.
The Terraform binary should be created in $GOPATH/bin
I would recommend you follow the steps in the README as opposed to what I've written above it's comprehensive and may change.
You shouldn't need to do any of this unless your actively developing Terraform, otherwise stick with the installation method in the getting started guide.
To work with multiple Terraform versions, I'm using tfswitch. This allows you to switch between the terraform versions which makes things much easier.
You can find the documentation here.
I was able to use this tool to manage terraform versions: https://github.com/Zordrak/tfenv. The first step was to remove the existing installation with: rm '/usr/local/bin/terraform'
You could use something like asdf or tfenv to manage the terraform binaries.
Gives you the advantage of having the option to use different version per project if required.
$sudo apt-get upgrade
it will work in linux if you have setup right path for terraform
I am new to Ubuntu (linux).
I installed node.js for a project.
Recently I am getting this error on npm install.
Error: "pre" versions of node cannot be installed, use the --nodedir flag instead
I found a stack link below as
Node pre error
Under the solution it asks for the directory where node.js is installed and currently i am clueless where the nodejs is installed.
Please help me on how can I locate the directory where node.js is installed.
Quick explanation
You have a version with -pre. Get rid of it and put the latest stable version from nodejs.org.
You can use which to locate a command. For your case, type which nodejs.
EDIT: The answer from your link is referring to the path of node source code, not the nodejs binary.
On Ubuntu, most software can be installed from the built-in repositories. This updates it for you (even if it's sometimes a bit outdated).
To install the stable version the Ubuntu way, install the nodejs-legacy package (after uninstalling your version):
sudo apt install nodejs-legacy
To use the latest, refer to https://askubuntu.com/a/663052/438156 (my answer), or https://askubuntu.com/a/711976/438156 (bit more involved, more the Ubuntu way).
