| If terraform still uses the preinstalled version you can try to move the binary to the explicit plugins folder, as mentioned in the [official terraform documentation](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/debugging) or in a [terraform tutorial](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/providers/provider-debug): | ||

| mv terraform-provider-virtualbox ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.local/local/virtualbox/5.0.0/linux_amd64/terraform-provider-virtualbox_v5.0.0 |

Is it possible to do a symlink instead? It would result in a faster iteration cycle rather than having to build + mv.

The documentation suggests to move it, but I think a symlink should also work.

@VoyTechnology I've tested it now and a symlink does also work. I've added a simple note to the CONTRIBUTING.md.

Hey @VoyTechnology ,
when debugging and testing the errors from issue #149 I noted done some things I needed to do before getting everything to work for debugging and investigating. I thought this info could be useful for others as well, so I added a bit to the documentation.
I would appreciate if you could add the
HACKTOBERFEST-ACCEPTEDlabel to this PR.Thanks :)
