Error: Unsupported Terraform Core version

[mpatters72]

• Book instructions for macOS state brew install terraform
• That currently installs 0.14.7 version
• 00-preface/hello-world main.tf required_version = ">= 0.12, < 0.13"
• It would be nice to provide a suggested workaround if it is impractical to update examples (ideally 0.15 and onward compatible.

e.g.

#Find and download latest compatible 0.12.x version and alias it (as opposed to install since you probably don't want an old binary, when you start your own build out)
https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/

alias terraform=/Users/mpatters/bin/terraform-0.12.30
terraform -version
Terraform v0.12.30
+ provider.aws v2.70.0

Ah, good point. You could probably do:

brew install terraform@0.12.29

Or use tfenv.

I'll include this in the next edition, thanks!
