configuring IBM bluemix provider for terraform on windows

There is no official IBM provider plugin available for terraform for now. We can easily configure this by

1. Download the windows 64 version of the IBM providre plugin from https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/terraform-provider-ibm/releases
2. Extract the exe from that archive
3. Create a terraform.d at any place of your choosing
4. Create a plugins directory inside the above directory
5. create a windows_amd64 directory inside the above directory
6. copy the downloaded exe file into the windows_amd64  and plugins directory
7. Now copy the terraform.d file to all the available directories below
1. C:\Users\<username>\AppData
2. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local
3. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local<whatever>
4. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming

Now create a main.tf file just with the following lines

provider ibm {}

and do a terraform init and it will work.
