Using the Terraform Registry

The NetActuate Terraform provider is published on the Terraform Registry, which is the recommended installation method.

Installing from the Registry

Add the provider to your required_providers block:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    netactuate = {
      source  = "netactuate/netactuate"
      version = "~> 1.0"
    }
  }
}

Then initialize your Terraform working directory:

terraform init

Terraform automatically downloads the provider from the registry during initialization.

Use version constraints to control which provider version Terraform installs:

Note: Pin to a minor version range (~> 1.0) for production use. This allows patch updates while preventing unexpected breaking changes.

To upgrade to a newer version within your constraint:

terraform init -upgrade

To change the version constraint, update the version field in your configuration and run terraform init -upgrade.

After running terraform init, verify the provider is installed:

terraform providers

This displays the installed providers and their versions.
