Error: DynamoDB error cannot find module build/Release/DTraceProviderBindings

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Solution
This is due to the dtrace-provider dependency failing to install.
There are few different causes for that:
- You don't have C++ compiler installed on your machine
- Your machine is having Python 3 instead of Python 2 installed.
- If on Mac OS/OS X, make sure you have accepted the XCode License. Fix it by running 'sudo xcodebuild -license' in your terminal.
