You can configure it in variables file as well:

variable "linode_token" {
  description = "Linode API v4 Personal Access Token"
  default = "YOUR TOKEN"
}

Apart from that, you can even rename secret-example.tfvars to secret.tfvars and store your API Token there.

terraform plan

Deploy the code:

terraform apply

If you are using secret.tfvars you need to use -var-file="secret.tfvars" flags for your plan or apply.
