Usage: terraform [global options] get [options]

  Downloads and installs modules needed for the configuration in the 
  current working directory.

  This recursively downloads all modules needed, such as modules
  imported by modules imported by the root and so on. If a module is
  already downloaded, it will not be redownloaded or checked for updates
  unless the -update flag is specified.

  Module installation also happens automatically by default as part of
  the "terraform init" command, so you should rarely need to run this
  command separately.

Options:

  -update               Check already-downloaded modules for available updates
                        and install the newest versions available.

  -no-color             Disable text coloring in the output.

  -test-directory=path  Set the Terraform test directory, defaults to "tests".

  -var 'foo=bar'        Set a value for one of the input variables in the root
                        module of the configuration. Use this option more than
                        once to set more than one variable.

  -var-file=filename    Load variable values from the given file, in addition
                        to the default files terraform.tfvars and *.auto.tfvars.
                        Use this option more than once to include more than one
                        variables file.
