Install the provider, not recognized by tf v.0.14.5

[voehrsCyber]

Summary

When I tried to install the provider by using the instructions, I wasn't able to get that up and running. I had to change the folder structure and had to tell terraform where to find the provider:

It has to be at a different place now, e.g.
.terraform.d/plugins/cyberark.com/edu/conjur/0.4.0/linux_amd64
and has to be named as:
terraform-provider-conjur

and requires an entry in the main.tf
terraform {
required_providers {
conjur = {
version = "0.4.0"
source = "cyberark.com/edu/conjur"
}
}
}

Hi @voehrsCyber,

I'm sorry you haven't received a response sooner, and thank you for using Conjur!

You're correct in that a manual entry is required as part of terraform v0.13. However, I'm not certain the path you used has to follow that syntax. For example, you could try installing the terraform-provider-conjur binary to .terraform.d/plugins/cyberark/conjur/0.4.0/linux_amd64.

The main.tf entry would look like this:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    conjur = {
      version = "0.4.0"
      source = "cyberark.com/edu/conjur"
    }
  }
}

You can read more about Terraforms provider installation directories here.

All good things,

@voehrsCyber did @BradleyBoutcher's response address your question? I'm wondering if we can close this, or if there is a docs update required here. I'd be glad for your view of the next steps here.

@BradleyBoutcher 's solution does not work. There should be successful testing on any proposed workarounds, if manual install is required, and a document update will absolutely be required.

Has there been any traction on this?
