## Choosing Terraform Versions
## Installing a Specific Version of Terraform
The HashiCorp APT repositories contain multiple versions of Terraform, but
because the packages are all named `terraform` it is impossible to install

There may be multiple package releases for a particular Terraform version if
we need to publish an updated package for any reason. In that case, the
subsequent releases will have an additional suffix, like `0.13.4-2`. In these
cases, the Terraform executable inside the package should be unchanged, but its
metadata and other contents may be different.
You can select a specific version to install by including it in the
`apt install` command line, as follows:
```bash
sudo apt install terraform=0.14.0
```
If your workflow requires using multiple versions of Terraform at the same
time, for example when working through a gradual upgrade where not all
of your configurations are upgraded yet, we recommend that you use the
official release `.zip` files instead of the APT packages, so you can install
multiple versions at once and then select which to use for each command you
run.
### Terraform 1.4.3 and Later
As of Terraform 1.4.3, all published packages include a revision number by
default, starting with `-1`. This change means that in the case that we need
to publish an updated package for any reason, installers can automatically
retrieve the latest revision. You can learn more about this packaging change
in [the announcement](https://discuss.hashicorp.com/t/linux-packaging-debian-revision-change/42403).
You can install the latest revision for a particular version by including the
version in the `apt install` command, as follows:
```bash
sudo apt install terraform=1.4.4-*
```
### Terraform 1.4.2 and Earlier
Terraform 1.4.2 and earlier did not include a revision number for the first
revision, so you can use the following pattern to install a specific version:
```bash
sudo apt install terraform=1.4.0
```
