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.
```sh
$ make bin
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME
...
```
In order to test the provider, you can simply run `make test`.
```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.
