As Terraform is a very small file (by todays standards) I generally create a new folder, and put the Terraform.exe executable in to that folder. I then keep Terraform and my script in that folder, creating a new folder containing a copy of Terraform for each script.

This is useful as Terraform creates other files to do with your scripts, and having lots of these in a single folder can be quite frustrating.

For this example, please do the following:

1. Create a new folder
2. Copy the Terraform.exe in to your new folder
3. Create a new file in your preferred text editor and save it as “my_instance.tf”
