Requirements

• Terraform 0.2.0
• Go 1.20.3 (to build the provider plugin)

Steps to downgrade or upgrade go version

To downgrade or upgrade Go to a specific version, you need to follow these steps:

Uninstall the current version of Go from your system by removing the Go installation directory. Download the specific Go version binary for your operating system and architecture from the official website. You can find the previous releases of Go at:

 https://golang.org/dl/

Extract the downloaded archive to a location on your system. Set the GOROOT environment variable to point to the extracted Go directory (the path where you extracted the Go binary). Update your PATH environment variable to include the bin directory inside the extracted Go directory.

export GOROOT=/path/to/extracted/go
export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH

Steps to downgrade or upgrade terraform version

To upgrade Terraform manually, follow these steps:

Visit the official HashiCorp releases page for Terraform at

 https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/

Find the desired version and click on it to see available downloads. Download the appropriate archive for your operating system (e.g., ZIP for windows, tar.gz for macOS/Linux). Extract the downloaded archive to a directory included in your system's PATH environment variable. Verify the installation by running terraform version in the terminal.

To downgrade to a specific version manually, follow these steps:

Uninstall the currently installed Terraform version. Follow the manual installation steps above, ensuring that you download and extract the desired version. Remember to update any configuration files or scripts that rely on specific Terraform versions when upgrading or downgrading.

Clone repository:

$ git clone ssh://[email protected]:7999/teamintegrations/terraform-integration.git

Enter the provider directory and build the provider:

$ cd terraform-integration/terraform-provider-logicmonitor/
$ make

The make file will then generate the code, build the binary, and copy it to the Terraform plugin directory.
