+Install Terraform according to their docs:

+Or use OpenTofu as a replacement for Terraform:
+[OpenTofu](https://opentofu.org)
+
+You can find all necessary steps to install Terragrunt here:

+
+We are using `tfenv` for managing the Terraform binary
+[tfenv](https://github.com/tfutils/tfenv.git)
+
+We are using `tgenv` for managing the Terragrunt binary
+[tgenv](https://github.com/cunymatthieu/tgenv.git)
