===============
To add a package from [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/) to nixpkgs:
1. Install node2nix: `nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA nodePackages.node2nix`.
2. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages.json`, to add, update,
or remove package entries.
3. Run the script: `cd pkgs/development/node-packages && sh generate.sh`.
4. Build your new package to test your changes: `cd /path/to/nixpkgs &&
nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`. To build against a
specific node.js version (e.g. 5.x): `nix-build -A
nodePackages_5_x.<new-or-updated-package>`
5. Add, commit, and share your changes!
1. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages.json`, to add, update,
or remove package entries. (or `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v4.json`
for packagages depending on node.js 4.x)
2. Run the script: `cd pkgs/development/node-packages && sh generate.sh`.
3. Build your new package to test your changes:
`cd /path/to/nixpkgs && nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`.
