Plugin error during a try of importing project

[Efrat19]

my solution for MAC - adding the plugin manually:

# install aws plugin (or whatever plugin you need)
curl -LO https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform-provider-aws/3.58.0/terraform-provider-aws_3.58.0_darwin_amd64.zip 
mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/darwin_amd64
mv terraform-provider-aws_3.58.0_darwin_amd64.zip ~/.terraform.d/plugins/darwin_amd64
cd ~/.terraform.d/plugins/darwin_amd64
unzip terraform-provider-aws_3.58.0_darwin_amd64.zip

It's look like you don't have provider binary
check in README
Copy your Terraform provider's plugin(s) to folder ~/.terraform.d/plugins/{darwin,linux}_amd64/, as appropriate.

Works fine. I made a mistake with the plugin's directory. Sorry for noise.

For the one ending on this issue because of looking for this error...
If you run Terraformer from a Linux based Docker container and mount a directory from your osx/windows machine, make sure to delete the .terraform/ diretory before running Terraformer.

I have the same issue :(
I installed binary release and placed all *.go file built from sources and related to AWS to the ~/.terraform.d/plugins/linux_amd64/. But I still have an error:

terraformer import aws --resources=vpc --regions=eu-central-1
2020/08/11 14:10:58 aws importing region eu-central-1
2020/08/11 14:10:58 aws importing... vpc
2020/08/11 14:10:59 fork/exec : no such file or directory

I symlink the binary from the project I want to import resources to. Ensures that we're using the same provider version (terraformer and my project)
