Building The Provider
---------------------

Clone repository to: `$GOPATH/src/github.com/vultr/terraform-provider-vultr`

```sh
``` sh
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/vultr; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/vultr
$ git clone [email protected]:vultr/terraform-provider-vultr.git
```

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

```sh
``` sh
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/vultr/terraform-provider-vultr
$ make build
```

Please read about [V2 changes from V1](example/V2Changes.md) for a list of new changes made to the Vultr Terraform Provider

### Installation
In your terraform config, define `vultr/vultr` in your `required_providers` and set your API key:
``` hcl
terraform {
required_providers {
vultr = {
source = "vultr/vultr"
version = "2.22.1"
}
}
}
provider "vultr" {
api_key = "..."
}
```

After, run `terraform init` to install the provider.

#### Manual Installation
If you don't have internet access on the target machine or prefer to install
the provider locally follow the steps for the relevant operating system and architecture.

1) [Download](https://github.com/vultr/terraform-provider-vultr/releases) and
extract the binary for your system and architecture

2) Make the local plugins directory:

On linux
``` sh
export VERSION=2.22.1 OS=linux ARCH=amd64
mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/local/vultr/vultr/${VERSION}/${OS}_${ARCH}/'
```
On mac
``` sh
export VERSION=2.22.1 OS=darwin ARCH=arm64
mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/local/vultr/vultr/${VERSION}/${OS}_${ARCH}/'
```

3) Rename and copy the binary into the local plugins directory:
``` sh
mv terraform-provider-vultr_v${VERSION} ~/.terraform.d/plugins/local/vultr/vultr/${VERSION}/${OS}_${ARCH}/terraform-provider-vultr_v${VERSION}
```

4) Add the local provider to your terraform `main.tf` config:
``` hcl
terraform {
required_providers {
vultr = {
source = "local/vultr/vultr"
version = "2.22.1"
}
}
}
provider "vultr" {
api_key = "..."
}
```

5) Test everything by running `terraform init` in that same directory.

Developing the Provider
---------------------------

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need [Go](http://www.golang.org) installed on your machine (version 1.11+ is *required*). You'll also need to correctly setup a [GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH), as well as adding `$GOPATH/bin` to your `$PATH`.

To compile the provider, run `make build`. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the `$GOPATH/bin` directory.

```sh
``` sh
$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-vultr

In order to test the provider, you can simply run `make test`.

```sh
``` sh
$ make test
```

In order to run the full suite of acceptance tests, run `make testacc`.

*Note:* Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.

```sh
``` sh
$ make testacc
```

In order to run a specific acceptance test, use the `TESTARGS` environment variable. For example, the following command will run `TestAccVultrUser_base` acceptance test only:

```sh
``` sh
$ make testacc TESTARGS='-run=TestAccVultrUser_base'
```
