To create an Amazon DynamoDB table locally:

Use Docker: Run docker run -p 8000:8000 amazon/DynamoDB-local.
Verify: Access http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
Create the table: Use the AWS CLI or an AWS SDK pointing to that URL.

There is no way that you can setup a DynamoDB locally. In fact, there is no AWS service that you can setup locally. 
However, there are some other tools that can help you a little bit to achieve this. One such tool is localstack - https://localstack.cloud/
