# Retrieve zip
wget https://github.com/sl1pm4t/terraform-provider-lxd/releases/download/v1.1.0/terraform-provider-lxd_v1.1.0_linux_amd64.zip

# Unzip
unzip terraform-provider-lxd_*.zip

# Copy binary to a location where Terraform will find it
mkdir -p ~/.terraform/
mv terraform-provider-lxd ~/.terraform/

Known Limitations

Many of the base LXD images don't include an SSH server, therefore terraform will be unable to execute any provisioners. Either use the base ubuntu images from the ubuntu or ubuntu-daily or manually prepare a base image that includes SSH.
