04/16/2021, 6:02 PMWhat system are you on?
Last time I used the tool was when I was on MacOS and there is a brew package for it. I thought the tool was implemented in nodejs. That is why I asked if you have nodejs installed. Apparently, I guessed wrong. Just did a quick search. It is implemented in Golang. If you are not on MacOS, you will need to download from the repo, and build it. You will need to have Go installed on you system:

Pulumi is a great tool, but unfortunately the folks at Pulumi seems to be a little too busy to answer some of the questions raised here in the slack channel. I wish they could be a little more active here. That can really make difference in the adoption of this great tool.
I just cloned the repo and built in on Windows 10. It worked like a charm.
Anyway, good luck with you Puluming...
Let me know if you need further help.

04/17/2021, 12:23 AMI am working on the Ubuntu, The process I am working on is like:
1. Write a Terraform provider;
2. Use pulumi bridge (and biolerplate) to generate pulumi SDK and runtime library; I have the code compiled and binary installed;
3. Trying to translate my tf file (with the provider I wrote) by using tf2pulumi, then it complains cannot find the resource plugin.
I am confused what the meaning of the plugin, did I miss something? It will be great that if you can share me some process that how to make self-made provider work for tf2pulumi.
And, I totally agree with you that Pulumi is a great tool, and that's the reason why they need community to make things better lol.
