## Using the Provider



The Terraform Provider for VMware vSphere is an official provider. Official

providers are maintained by the Terraform team at [HashiCorp][hashicorp] and are

listed on the [Terraform Registry][terraform-registry].



To use a released version of the Terraform provider in your environment, run

`terraform init` and Terraform will automatically install the provider from the

Terraform Registry.



Unless you are contributing to the provider or require a pre-release bugfix or

feature, use an **officially** released version of the provider.



See [Installing the Terraform Provider for VMware vSphere][provider-install] for

additional instructions on automated and manual installation methods and how to

control the provider version.



For either installation method, documentation about the provider configuration,

resources, and data sources can be found on the Terraform Registry.



## Upgrading the Provider



The provider does not upgrade automatically. After each new release, you can run

the following command to upgrade the provider:



```shell

terraform init -upgrade

```
