setup script parse error about tfc-getting-started HOT 5 CLOSED

@kajatiger Thanks for raising this issue.

from tfc-getting-started.

I have downloaded terraform. I had an older version and updated it now.
The version returns

Terraform v1.2.8
on darwin_amd64

And I do have a terrraform account in the cloud.
And this time the setup script seems to work, so I guess the version was the problem.

Can you confirm whether creating organizations is disabled for non-admins?

I don't know what this means. Creating organizations where?
The setup script is already failing at the version check. I just tried the commands out separately and I am getting the same error.
For example this line in the script raises it:

installedTerraformMajorVersion=$(terraform version -json | jq -r '.terraform_version' | cut -d '.' -f 1)

And I am wondering where exactly this comes from... There is a similar issue decribed here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67889924/parse-error-invalid-numeric-literal-at-line-1-column-10

It seems to be a problem in the jq query. Maybe the return value of the terraform version is not the expected format?

Creating an organization in your TFC account. This might be jumping too far ahead.

Let's start by gathering more context:

Have you downloaded Terraform?
What version is returned in the CLI when you run terraform -version?
Have you created an account in Terraform Cloud?
