5. Click OK.
3. Run the following command to check whether the installation is successful.
terraform -version
If the following information is returned (the version number may be different), the installation is successful:

> is 1.1.0. You can update by downloading from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html
Step 2. Configure security credentials
Before using Terraform for the first time, go to the TencentCloud API Key page to apply for SecretId and SecretKey. If you already have them, go to step 3.
1. Log in to the CAM console and select Access Key > Manage API Key on the left sidebar.
2. On the Manage API Key page, click Create Key to create a pair of SecretId/SecretKey.
3. You can authenticate in two ways:
Authentication by environment variable
Authentication by Static Credential
Add the following content to the environment variable configuration:
Replace <your-secret-id> and <your-secret-key> with SecretId and SecretKey obtained in the Get credentials step.
exportTENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<your-secret-id>
exportTENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<your-secret-key>
Create a provider.tf file in the user directory and enter the following content:
Replace <your-secret-id> and <your-secret-key> with SecretId and SecretKey obtained in the Get credentials step.
provider "tencentcloud"{
secret_id ="<your-secret-id>"
secret_key ="<your-secret-key>"
}
4. At this point, you have installed Terraform and configured the environment variable. You can now proceed to create a site through Terraform.
