Uninstall the original npm package by opening a terminal within the directory of your project and running the following command. npm uninstall <package-name> Example npm uninstall node-simple-odata-server Install the npm package from your Forked branch using the following command from a terminal within your project directory. npm install --save <your-github-user>/<repository-name>#<branch-name> Example npm install --save rwils
