You can sideload Terraform providers so you don't need to do this. I personally recommend the [implicit local mirror directory](https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/config/config-file.html#implied-local-mirror-directories https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/config/config-file.html#im...) where you just place your provider in your OS's respective Terraform plugin directory (MacOS: `$HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/`). There's other ways to sideload providers on that docs page too
