for packages depending on Node.js 10.x)
2. Run the script: `(cd pkgs/development/node-packages && ./generate.sh)`.

`cd /path/to/nixpkgs && nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`.
To build against a specific Node.js version (e.g. 4.x):
`nix-build -A nodePackages_4_x.<new-or-updated-package>`
To build against a specific Node.js version (e.g. 10.x):
