Cannot launch DynamoDB on Mac M1 architecture

Actual Behaviour

When running dynamodb locally on my Macbook M1 Pro 2021 I get an unsatisifed link due to sqlite libs not being available for my archiecture:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /foo/.dynamodb/DynamoDBLocal_lib/libsqlite4java-osx.dylib: 
dlopen(/foo/.dynamodb/DynamoDBLocal_lib/libsqlite4java-osx.dylib, 0x0001): tried: 
'/foo/.dynamodb/DynamoDBLocal_lib/libsqlite4java-osx.dylib' 
(fat file, but missing compatible architecture (have 'i386,x86_64', need 'arm64e')), 
'/usr/local/lib/libsqlite4java-osx.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libsqlite4java-osx.dylib' (no such file)

Expected Behaviour

Should start DynamoDB java program

Hi all, Since we seem stuck on the maintainer trying to obtain credentials I published my forks of the two required modules so that people can move on with their business:

@henhal/serverless-dynamodb-local
@henhal/dynamodb-localhost

There are two ways to use the forks:

1. Reference my forked package on NPM

Replace your devDependency to serverless-dynamodb-local in package.json with:

"@henhal/serverless-dynamodb-local": "^0.3.0"

NOTE Since serverless references plugins by name declared in package.json, this also means you must replace the plugin name in serverless.yml:

plugins:
  - "@henhal/serverless-dynamodb-local"

Note also that using @ as the first character in a yaml string requires quotes to be present as well.

2. Reference fork directly via git+ssh URI

"serverless-dynamodb-local": "git+ssh://[e-mail]:henhal/serverless-dynamodb-local.git#v1"

This fetches the serverless-dynamodb-local module directly from my fork on github, which in turns uses the forked version of dynamodb-localhost which I’ve published to NPM as @henhal/dynamodb-localhost. Since you may still name the plugin serverless-dynamodb-local in package.json, no need to rename the plugin in serverless.yml .

I hope the maintainers are OK with me doing this; I mean no disrespect but lots of people have been waiting for nearly 7 months for a version to be published now.

@henhal I can merge the PRs, but let me check who has the credentials for publishing to NPM and sort it out.
