You can set up the directories required with the following commands. You should substitute your system's architecture or a different path if desired:

```
mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google/5.0.0/darwin_amd64
mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google-beta/5.0.0/darwin_amd64

As such, we recommend using a version that is several major versions ahead for your local copy of the provider, such as `5.0.0`.
