do we need `installPlugin` when using the automation API? the plugins in use will have been included when running the `program` callback

Inline programs do not have automatic plugin acquisition, so it will be require for those but not for local programs.

Hey Evan, thanks for the info. I was wondering howcome the plugin hasn't been acquired yet when running `npm install @pulumi/aws`?

I guess I don't know much about what plugin acquisition is, as I've only got an understanding of Pulumi from using the nodejs sdk. I've tried to search the docs but can't find any info about it, besides some github issues
