1. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v6.json` to add, update
or remove package entries. (Or `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v4.json`

2. Run the script: `(cd pkgs/development/node-packages && ./generate.sh)`.
3. Build your new package to test your changes:
`cd /path/to/nixpkgs && nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`.
