How Do I Accelerate the Download of the HUAWEI CLOUD Provider?

You can run the terraform init command to download the HUAWEI CLOUD provider to the working directory. If you are in Chinese mainland, the download process may take longer or even fail.

In this case, manually download the HUAWEI CLOUD provider package to a local directory, set up a local registry, and modify the required_providers parameter in the terraform block to quickly download the HUAWEI CLOUD provider. Specifically,

1. On the HUAWEI CLOUD provider download page, select a package according to your operating system, and download it to a local directory.
2. Set up a local registry and decompress the HUAWEI CLOUD provider package to the following directory:
   • Linux: ~/.terraform.d/plugins/<local-registry>/<organization>/huaweicloud/<version>/<os_arch>
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\terraform.d\plugins\<local registry>\<organization>\huaweicloud\<version>\<os_arch>

   Example:

   # Linux
   ~/.terraform.d/plugins/local-registry/huaweicloud/huaweicloud/1.20.0/linux_amd64
   
   # Windows
   C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\terraform.d\plugins\local-registry\huaweicloud\huaweicloud\1.20.0\windows_amd64

3. Change the value of terraform.required_providers.huaweicloud.source as follows:

   terraform {
     required_version = ">= 0.13"
   
     required_providers {
       huaweicloud = {
         source  = "local-registry/huaweicloud/huaweicloud"
         version = ">= 1.20.0"
       }
     }
   }

4. Run the terraform init command in the working directory.
