Describe the Bug

Following the Terraform module for AWS Landing Zone (one component: AWS Organization).

To Reproduce

main.tf contains the following:

module "landing_zone" {
  source  = "MitocGroup/landing-zone/aws"
  version = "0.2.4"

  landing_zone_providers = {
    default = {
      account_id = var.account_id
      region     = var.region
    }
  }
  landing_zone_components = {
    landing_zone_organization = "s3://terraform-aws-landing-zone/components/landing_zone_organization/default.tfvars"
  }


  terraform_backend = {
    backend = "s3"
    bucket  = "tf-remote-state"
    key     = "landing_zone/terraform.tfstate"
    region  = "us-east-1"
    encrypt = true
    kms_key_id = "**************" 
  }
}

Executed terraform plan -out tfplan.out then terrform apply tfplan.out

Additional context

My next step was to try installing globally with: npm -i -g aws-sdk with same result.

I noticed this npm warning: npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/john/package.json' so I tried the following:

cp .terraform/modules/landing_zone/package.json ~/

to place the package.json into my $HOME directory and finally the apply worked.
