Typo and clarity issue in Terraform CLI installation instructions across documentation #1082

Hello,

I noticed a recurring issue in Terraform CLI installation instructions across multiple tutorials (e.g., Azure, AWS, etc.). For example, in the official Terraform CLI installation guide:
Terraform CLI Installation Guide

“Finally, make sure that the terraform binary is available on your systems PATH`. This process will differ depending on your operating system.”

Problems

  1. The sentence incorrectly uses a backtick (`) instead of a proper apostrophe (’).

    • Incorrect: systems PATH`
    • Correct: system's PATH
  2. It could be clearer to mention that this refers to the PATH environment variable.

Suggested correction

“Finally, make sure that the terraform binary is available on your system's PATH environment variable. The process for doing this will differ depending on your operating system.”

This appears to be a global issue in multiple CLI installation guides, so updating it across all documentation would improve clarity and consistency.

Thank you!
