PDK Provider Setup
In Common Fate v0.15+, Providers built with the Provider Development Kit (PDK) are deployed separately to a Common Fate deployment.
Installing cf
To deploy a PDK Provider, start by installing cf.

cf is a command-line interface (CLI) tool for performing authenticated actions against a Common Fate deployment. It provides commands for creating and updating Target Groups, Handlers, Routes and also for operational tasks like viewing Handler logs.
To install cf, follow the instructions below based on your computer's operating system:
