To install CTS, find the [appropriate package](https://releases.hashicorp.com/consul-terraform-sync/) for your system and download it as a zip archive. For the CTS Enterprise binary, download a zip archive with the `+ent` metadata. [CTS Enterprise requires a Consul Enterprise license](/docs/nia/enterprise/license) to run.
Unzip the package to extract the binary named `consul-terraform-sync`. Move the `consul-terraform-sync` binary to a location available on your `PATH`.
Example:
2022-01-20 16:54:23 +00:00
```shell-session
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
$ mv ./consul-terraform-sync /usr/local/bin/consul-terraform-sync
```
2022-01-20 16:54:23 +00:00
Once installed, verify the installation works by prompting the `-version` or `-help` option. The version outputted for the CTS Enterprise binary includes the `+ent` metadata.
```shell-session
$ consul-terraform-sync -version
```

CTS connects with your Consul cluster in order to monitor the Consul catalog for service changes. These service changes lead to downstream updates to your network devices. You can configure your Consul cluster in CTS with the [Consul block](/docs/nia/configuration#consul). Below is an example:
```hcl
consul {
address = "localhost:8500"
token = "my-consul-acl-token"
}
```

CTS interacts with your network device through a network driver. For the Terraform network driver, CTS uses Terraform providers to make changes to your network infrastructure resources. You can reference existing provider docs on the Terraform Registry to configure each provider or create a new Terraform provider.

This change accounts for the following changes: - `source_input` block can be configured for a task. No longer restricting to scheduled task - Multiple `source_input` blocks can be configured for a task. No longer restricting to one - Task cannot have multiple configurations defining the same variable type Future work: We're planning to do some renaming from "source" to "module" for v0.5. These changes are made in the code and not yet in the docs. These will be taken care of across our docs in a separate PR. Perpetuating "source" in this PR to reduce confusion. * Apply suggestions from code review Co-authored-by: mrspanishviking <kcardenas@hashicorp.com> * Apply suggestions from code review Co-authored-by: trujillo-adam <47586768+trujillo-adam@users.noreply.github.com> * code review feedback Co-authored-by: mrspanishviking <kcardenas@hashicorp.com> Co-authored-by: trujillo-adam <47586768+trujillo-adam@users.noreply.github.com> * Add "Consul object" glossary entry Changes: -

Once you have identified a Terraform provider for all of your network devices, you can configure them in CTS with a [`terraform_provider` block](/docs/nia/configuration#terraform-provider) for each network device. Below is an example:
```hcl
terraform_provider "fake-firewall" {
address = "10.10.10.10"
username = "admin"
password = "password123"
}
```
This provider is then used by task(s) to execute a Terraform module that will update the related network device.
### Multiple Instances per Provider
You might have multiple instances of the same type of network device; for example, multiple instances of a firewall or load balancer. You can configure each instance with its own provider block and distinguish it by the `alias` meta-argument. See [multiple provider configurations](/docs/nia/configuration#multiple-provider-configurations) for more details and an example of the configuration.
