     8  
     9  These examples are designed to help you understand some
    10  of the ways Terraform can be used.
    11  
    12  Other than configuring the provider (with, for example, an API key),
    13  the examples are ready to run as-is.

    17  <div>
    18  <strong>Note:</strong> The examples use real providers that launch
    19  <strong>real</strong> resources. That means they can cost money to
    20  experiment with. To avoid unexpected charges, be sure to understand the price
    21  of resources before launching them, and verify any unneeded resources
    22  are cleaned up afterwards.</div>
    23  </div>
    24  
    25  Experimenting in this way can help you learn how the Terraform lifecycle
    26  works, as well as how to repeatedly create and destroy infrastructure.
    27  
    28  If you're completely new to Terraform, we recommend reading the
    29  [getting started guide](/intro/getting-started/install.html) before diving into
    30  the examples. However, due to the intuitive configuration Terraform
    31  uses it isn't required.
    32  
    33  To use these examples, Terraform must first be installed on your machine.
    34  You can install Terraform from the [downloads page](/downloads.html).
