Description of the issue

I pulled the latest code while working through the Quickstart: Provision a simulated symmetric key device found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-dps/quick-create-simulated-device-symm-key?pivots=programming-language-nodejs

When I execute the command as described, get an error indicating it can't find a module:

$ node provisioning/device/samples/register_symkey.js
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1152
  throw err;
  ^

Can you try running npm install from the /provisioning/device/samples/ directory?

Thanks, but that generated 486 errors. Seems something isn't right with my build env. I'll keep digging.
