Error: Failed to download module

[Digginz88]

What is your Question? I was trying to follow your youtube video and got to the terraform init part, but received an error.

"Failed to download module │ │ on main.tf line 1: │ 1: module "palworld" { │ │ Could not download module "palworld" (main.tf:1) source code from │ "git::https://github.com/TheSudoYT/terraform-aws-palworld?ref=5e3223be6ab41a7b7189acccd6960ee2d8510dba": error downloading │ 'https://github.com/TheSudoYT/terraform-aws-palworld?ref=5e3223be6ab41a7b7189acccd6960ee2d8510dba': git must be available and on the PATH."

Can you let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the in-depth guide!

Hi @Digginz88 ,

There are a few reasons this might happen. First, can you expand the .terraform folder and ensure the providers downloaded or not?

Additionally, Can you provide some info?

• What OS are you running on
• How did you install Terraform on the OS?
• If you installed Terraform with a package manager, which one (snap, yum, apt, chocolatey, etc.)

Hi Josh!

The providers are not populated in the module. I must've missed a step?

• I'm using Windows
• I used the manual install process and set the Path in the Environment Variables section
• I can confirm that in the CMD Prompt, I have Terraform v1.7.1 installed and can run the help command.

Thanks!

Thank you. Do you have git installed on your PC? If not, can you install it, restart the terminal / cmd prompt, and try the terraform init again?

That did it - I was able to go through all the steps once I downloaded that. I really appreciate your help! This was fun to learn and your video made it very easy.

Thank you!

Glad to hear it!
