Cannot install locally on macOS with npm

See original GitHub issue

Installs fine with -g, but our team installs all of our “global” packages into our project’s package.json so we all have the same version.

Here is the error when installing without -g:

fs.js:772
  return binding.rename(pathModule._makeLong(oldPath),
                 ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename 'bin/sam' -> '/Users/jason/code/empty-dir/node_modules/aws-sam-local/node_modules/.bin/sam'
