Are you ready to unleash the power of Terraform with a seamlessly integrated solution? Welcome to TerraHub, a robust tool designed for Terraform automation and orchestration. Whether you’re a developer, an operations engineer, or an IT professional, TerraHub provides everything you need to manage your infrastructure with ease. In this blog, we will explore how to get started with TerraHub CLI, how to set up your account, and troubleshoot common issues along the way.

Getting Started with TerraHub CLI

TerraHub CLI is the gateway to optimizing your Terraform processes. Here’s how to install and get started:

• Step 1: Check if npm is installed: Open your terminal and run:

npm --version

The output should resemble v5.6.0. If you don’t see a version number, you’ll need to install Node.js and npm. You can find installation instructions here.

• Step 2: Install TerraHub globally: Once npm is up and running, install TerraHub with the following command:

npm install --global terrahub

You should see confirmation that TerraHub was installed successfully.

• Step 3: Verify the installation: To check if the installation was successful, run:

terrahub --help

Understanding TerraHub Components

TerraHub is divided into three main components:

• TerraHub CLI: The command line interface for efficient automation and orchestration of your Terraform scripts.
• TerraHub API: A data management layer that requires a token to manage logs and other vital information.
• TerraHub Console: A user-friendly graphical interface to visualize real-time Terraform operations along with reporting capabilities.

Getting Your TerraHub Token

To enable data collection through the TerraHub API and view it in the TerraHub Console, you need a TerraHub Token:

1. Sign up for a free account at console.terrahub.io.
2. Navigate to the Settings page and copy your TerraHub Token.
3. Set your TerraHub Token as an environmental variable:

export TERRAHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here

Alternatively, update the token value in the global configuration file located at $HOME/.terrahub/terrahub.json.
