```bash
# Install AWS Provider
terraform {
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "~> 4.0"
}
}
}
# Configure the AWS Provider
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
shared_config_files = ["~/.aws/config"]
shared_credentials_files = ["~/.aws/credentials"]
profile = "User Name"
}
```
- Run command: `terraform init`.

```bash
# terraform apply
terraform apply -auto-approve
# Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
```

```bash
terraform apply -var "instance_name=devEC2Instance" -auto-approve
# Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
