You need to make sure that you install the packages needed to run this sample. You will need to run npm install twice. Once to install this sdk and a second time for each example that you want to run:

npm install
node dist/index.js --endpoint <endpoint> --cert <file> --key <file>

For this you will also need to make sure you have the required certificates.

If you haven't already I would recommend going to the AWS console and find the getting started IoT section. It will walk you through the steps needed to get the pub sub working, including creating certificates for you and downloading a script that will do the installation process for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions about using this sdk.
