Unable to launch aws instance using terraform

Question

While running terraform script, it shows the following error

Error: Error launching source instance: InvalidKeyPair.NotFound: The key pair 'oregonkeypair' does not exist
    status code: 400, request id: 921dcb14-796f-4d80-9d41-295dd2fffde7

But the same key is in the same folder and also provided chmod 400 permission

Have you defined the key as a separate resource as stated in the documentation.

key_name - (Optional) Key name of the Key Pair to use for the instance; which can be managed using the aws_key_pair resource.

As far as I understand it, you will need to define it in your template, see documentation

Example:

resource "aws_key_pair" "deployer" {
   key_name   = "deployer-key"
   public_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1y...and-so-on...1 [email protected]"
}

This keypair oregonkeypair should already exist in AWS or create one using terraform as mentioned by @Ben

A quick fix would be to create one manually in AWS Console https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home
