# terraform-bundle # terraform-bundle
terraform-bundle is no longer actively maintained. We recommend that you switch `terraform-bundle` was a solution intended to help with the problem
to one of the [alternative provider installation methods](https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/config/config-file.html#provider-installation) of distributing Terraform providers to environments where direct registry
introduced in Terraform v0.13. To continue using terraform-bundle, you can build access is impossible or undesirable, created in response to the Terraform v0.10
terraform-bundle from the v0.15 branch of the terraform repository. change to distribute providers separately from Terraform CLI.
The Terraform v0.13 series introduced our intended longer-term solutions
to this need:
* [Alternative provider installation methods](https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/config/config-file.html#provider-installation),
including the possibility of running server containing a local mirror of
providers you intend to use which Terraform can then use instead of the
origin registry.
* [The `terraform providers mirror` command](https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/commands/providers/mirror.html),
built in to Terraform v0.13.0 and later, can automatically construct a
suitable directory structure to serve from a local mirror based on your
current Terraform configuration, serving a similar (though not identical)
purpose than `terraform-bundle` had served.
For those using Terraform CLI alone, without Terraform Cloud, we recommend
planning to transition to the above features instead of using
`terraform-bundle`.
## How to use `terraform-bundle`
However, if you need to continue using `terraform-bundle`
during a transitional period then you can use the version of the tool included
in the Terraform v0.15 branch to build bundles compatible with
Terraform v0.13.0 and later.
If you have a working toolchain for the Go programming language, you can
build a `terraform-bundle` executable as follows:
* `git clone --single-branch --branch=v0.15 --depth=1 https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform.git`
* `cd terraform`
* `go build -o ../terraform-bundle ./tools/terraform-bundle`
After running these commands, your original working directory will have an
executable named `terraform-bundle`, which you can then run.
For information
on how to use `terraform-bundle`, see
[the README from the v0.15 branch](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/v0.15/tools/terraform-bundle/README.md).
You can follow a similar principle to build a `terraform-bundle` release
compatible with Terraform v0.12 by using `--branch=v0.12` instead of
`--branch=v0.15` in the command above. Terraform CLI versions prior to
v0.13 have different expectations for plugin packaging due to them predating
Terraform v0.13's introduction of automatic third-party provider installation.
