+### Install to Local Plugin Directory
+
+To install the provider to your local Terraform plugin cache, you can either download a pre-built release or build from source.
+
+#### Option 1: Download from GitHub Releases
+
+```bash
+# Set variables for your platform
+OS="linux"       # or "darwin" for macOS, "windows" for Windows
+ARCH="amd64"     # or "arm64" for ARM-based systems
+VERSION="1.0.0"
+
+# Download the release
+curl -LO "https://github.com/axonops/axonops-kafka-tf/releases/download/v${VERSION}/terraform-provider-axonops_v${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH}.zip"
+
+# Create the plugin directory
+mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/axonops/${VERSION}/${OS}_${ARCH}/
+
+# Unzip to the plugin directory
+unzip "terraform-provider-axonops_v${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH}.zip" -d ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/axonops/${VERSION}/${OS}_${ARCH}/
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Build from Source
+
+```bash
+# Set variables for your platform
+OS="linux"       # or "darwin" for macOS, "windows" for Windows
+ARCH="amd64"     # or "arm64" for ARM-based systems
+VERSION="1.0.0"
+
+# Clone and build
+git clone https://github.com/axonops/axonops-kafka-tf.git
+cd axonops-kafka-tf
+go build -o terraform-provider-axonops
+
+# Create the plugin directory
+mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/axonops/${VERSION}/${OS}_${ARCH}/
+
+# Copy the binary
+cp terraform-provider-axonops ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/axonops/${VERSION}/${OS}_${ARCH}/
+```
+
+#### Configure Terraform
+
+Reference the provider in your Terraform configuration:
+
+```hcl
+terraform {
+  required_providers {
+    axonops = {
+      source  = "hashicorp/axonops"
+      version = "1.0.0"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Run `terraform init` to initialize the provider.
