@Mike,

I’ve revised the installation instructions for Terraform on Debian-based distributions, including Linux Mint.

apt-key has been deprecated on Linux Mint 21 - another means needs to be used to import the key. apt update has been updated to require a Release file. This command fails on Linux Mint 21 as used above.

Thanks for the article!

Just note when you’re installing Terraform via the CLI on Debian family distros, you have to include below command to update package.

$ sudo apt update

If it’s not executed you’ll see something as below:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package terraform

I guess the same is happening for the Red Had family distros.

Thanks,
Pablo
