Nick Fagerlund	6494591ec1	website: Remove extra copy of "Getting Started", update links ... This guide now lives at: - https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform#getting-started ...and terraform.io has been redirecting to there for quite a while. This commit removes the extra copy so that the text of the two versions doesn't drift, and updates existing links to point to the new location.	6 years ago
Nick Fagerlund	7d5db9522f	website: Fix plugin path on Windows (#19423) ... ...and one other reference to the application data directory. Context: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/knownfolderid#folderid_roamingappdata In newer Windows versions, the folder accessible as `%APPDATA%` (and via various APIs) is actually at something like "documents and settings\user\application data\roaming", while earlier versions omit the "\roaming" part of the path. This means you can confuse people by referring to the "application data" directory by its human name, because "roaming" is the real application data directory, but it looks like a subdirectory of "application data". Thus, it's less confusing to just use the `%APPDATA%` variable, with the added benefit that you can copy and paste the path and it'll just work in most places.	7 years ago
Nick Fagerlund	b3935b29d7	website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading (#18973) ... website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading I'm attempting to keep things simple for normal users while making sure we've got the full behavior written down somewhere for plugin developers. This commit doesn't stand alone; it's paired with a commit in the terraform-website repo, to deal with some related content in the "extend" section.	7 years ago
Martin Atkins	f19bf25945	website: don't recommend "providers" block in CLI config ... This mechanism for configuring plugins is now deprecated, since it's not capable of declaring plugin versions. Instead, we recommend just placing plugins into a particular directory, which is now documented on the main providers documentation page and linked from the more detailed docs on plugins in general.	9 years ago
