Installation

Package Manager

You can easily install the Terraform Exporter for SAP BTP using popular installation methods based on your operating system. We’ve made it simple with ready-to-use installers and package managers across platforms.

Commands

We have released winget and Chocolatey packages. Please refer to the official Winget and Chocolatey documentation websites for details. For Winget based installation 

winget install SAP.btptf
For Chocolatey based installation 
choco install sap-btptf

Please refer to the Homebrew website for details. 

brew tap SAP/terraform-exporter-btp https://github.com/SAP/terraform-exporter-btp
brew install sap/terraform-exporter-btp/btptf

We’ve released deb and rpm packages to support installation on the most common Linux distributions. You can download the packages from the assets section of the releases page.

For Debian-based distributions (like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.): 

sudo dpkg -i <path-to-download>/terraform-exporter-btp_<latest-version>_linux_amd64.deb
For RPM-based distributions (like Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, openSUSE): 
sudo rpm -i <path-to-download>/terraform-exporter-btp_<latest-version>_linux_amd64.rpm

Download Binaries

You can also download the binaries directly from the releases section of the GitHub repository.

Select the version that you want to use and download the binary that fits your operating system from the assets of the release. We recommend using the latest version.

Local Build

If you contribute to the btptf CLI or you need a fix that has not been added to a released version, you may want to do a local build:

  1. Open the code of the btptf CLI cloned from the GitHub repository in the VS Code Editor.

  2. We have set up a devcontainer, so reopen the repository in the devcontainer.

  3. Open a terminal in VS Code and install the binary by running make install. This will implicitly trigger a build of the source. If you want to build without install, execute make build.

  4. The system will store the binary as btptf (btptf.exe in case of Windows) in the default binary path of your Go installation $GOPATH/bin.

Tip

You find the value of the GOPATH via go env GOPATH
