Terraform Provider Manager

Terraform Provider Manager (tpm) is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to simplify the management of Terraform providers in the plugin cache directory. With tpm you can easily install, uninstall, and list providers, helping you to streamline your Terraform workflow.

One of the key benefits of tpm is that it does not require Terraform to be installed, making it a lightweight and efficient tool for managing your cached providers.

Install a provider

To install a provider you only need to provide the name. Optionally, you can specify a version by using <package>@<version>. By default, if no version is specified, the latest available version, also known as @latest, will be installed.

You can also specify the architecture and operating system. If not specified, the information from the system where tpm is being executed will be used.

In addition, it's possible to install multiple providers at once specifying a providers.yml file, making it easier to share and reuse installation requirements. For example:

providers:
  - name: hashicorp/aws@3.64.0
  - name: hashicorp/http@3.3.0
    os:
      - linux
      - darwin
    arch:
      - amd64
      - arm64
  - name: hashicorp/random
    os:
      - linux
      - darwin
    arch:
      - amd64
      - arm64

The providers are installed in parallel by default. You can adjust the number of parallel jobs by using the --jobs <NUMBER> flag.

List installed providers

This will display on the screen the installed providers. Optionally, you can specify an output format. Valid output formats are:

• text (default)
• json
• csv
• table

Uninstall a provider

Uninstalling a provider is exactly the same as installing it. You can specify both the version, operating system, and architecture.

Purge all providers

This will delete all installed providers from the current registry.
