What's Causing This Error
This error message indicates an issue with running the dynamodb-admin
command.
Specifically, it indicates that the command is not recognized as valid. For example, this can happen if the dynamodb-admin
package is not installed, if the path to the package is not correctly set in the system's environment variables, or if the command is being run in the wrong environment (e.g., trying to run the command in a Windows Command Prompt instead of a Linux terminal).
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, check that the dynamodb-admin
package is installed on your system. You can try installing it globally via npm by running the following command:
npm install -g dynamodb-admin
Also, check that the path to the package is correctly set in the system's environment variables. You can check the path by running the following command:
npm config get prefix
Finally, make sure the command is being run in the correct environment (e.g., Linux terminal or Windows Command Prompt)
