go install github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt@latest - shows error

I am trying to Provision VMs on KVM with Terraform. one of the steps in installations is to download and install the provider buy the command:

go install github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt@latest

but it errors:

The go.mod file for the module providing named packages contains one or more replace directives. It must not contain directives that would cause it to be interpreted differently than if it were the main module.

I didn't find a solution, is someone has faced it? thank you

Solution

  • As JimB notice in comments:

    If there are replace or exclude directives in the module, the correct installation method is to clone the source and install it,

    git clone github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt
cd terraform-provider-libvirt
go install
