2. Open the navigation menu. Under Governance and Administration, go to Identity and click Compartments.
3. Click Create Compartment.
4. In the Create Compartment dialog box enter the following information:
   • Name: Enter a name that is unique across all compartments in your tenancy (maximum 100 characters, including letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, and underscores).
   • Description: (Optional) Enter a description.
   • Parent Compartment: Select a parent compartment.
   • Tags: (Optional) Enter tags to organize and list resources based on your business needs.
5. Click Create Compartment.

   You can extract Terraform to any other directory on your local host. Ensure that the directory is included in the PATH variable.
   Terraform is installed and ready to use.
