If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need [Go](http://www.golang.org) installed on your machine (version 1.8+ 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 `$GOPATH/bin` directory.
Remove an explicit version of the provider you develop, because `terraform` will fetch
the locally built one in `$GOPATH/bin`
```hcl
provider "$PROVIDER_NAME" {
# version = "~> 0.1.2"
...
}
```
Don't forget to run `terraform init` each time you rebuild the provider. Check [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMmovxyo5sY&t=30m14s) for a more detailed explanation.
