This module is also useful as a devDependency if you want to run nsqd during tests etc.

$ npm i nsq-bundle -D

Then we can add some scripts to package.json, e.g.

{
  "name": "mymodule",
  "scripts": {
    "pretest": "nsqd -tcp-address=:5150 -http-address=:5151 &",
    "test": "tape test.js",
    "posttest": "kill-port 5150"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nsq-bundle": "^1.1.0",
    "tape": "^4.2.1"
  }
}

This is a simple setup where the pretest script will fire up nsqd before the tests and the posttest script will kill the nsqd process afterwards.
