Description
**Actual Behaviour**
When I run `npm install` as directed in the README, I get the version 0.2.40 installed. This version doesn't handle the `docker` flag mentioned in the README as well, and in the documentation at https://www.serverless.com/plugins/serverless-dynamodb-local.
**Expected Behaviour**
I expect the installation by npm to be same like a tag or a branch in this repo so that I can find out which version is having which feature. At the moment I cannot use the docker feature because it is not supported in version 0.2.40 that is available by npm install. Furthermore, I cannot find a tag or a branch with the value 0.2.40. The version 0.2.40 though is still the current version in the package.json file in the repo.
**Steps to reproduce it**
1. Run `npm install serverless-dynamodb-local`. Notice the installed version will be 0.2.40.
2. Run `serverless dynamodb start --docker`
3. An error stating that the flag docker is not recognizable.
4. Find the installed packages for serverless-dynamodb-local and examine the README file.
5. The README file doesn't include the docker flag which indicates a different version than what is currently in the repo and the online documentation.
**Would you like to work on the issue?**
Yes. With some guidance.

Research direction
Compare the repository's package.json and README with the 0.2.40 package installed by npm, starting with the documented npm install and serverless dynamodb start --docker steps. Confirm where the published package diverges from the repository, then verify that the published version and documentation expose the same docker behavior and version information.
