 for documentation and examples of using this driver.
 
-## Creating the proto-def.js
+## Get and compile protobuf definitions
 
-To build the JavaScript driver, you'll need to first generate the
-definitions file `proto-def.js`. To do that from the `drivers`
-directory, you can do:
+To get and compile protobuf definitions, you should run the `npm run get-proto`
+script. This will download the proto file from rethinkdb's next branch and
+convert it by `scripts/convert_protofile.py`.
 
-```bash
-$ ./convert_protofile -l javascript \
-   -i ../src/rdb_protocol/ql2.proto \
-   -o ./javascript/proto-def.js
+## Compile coffee script
+
+We are using a pretty outdated coffee script version right now, but to
+mitigate compilation issues, you can use the `npm run compile` command. It
+will compile the coffee script files for you.
+
+## Build the package
+
+Building the package combines getting proto file and compiling coffee script
+source files. To build RethinkDB JavaScript driver run `npm run build`.
+
+## Publishing
+
+You can use NPM's default toolchain for publishing (`npm publish`), but please try some scenarios
+with the freshly built driver before going forward. To test the driver, run at least
+something like this after executing `node` command.
+
+```javascript
+var r = require('./dist/rethinkdb');
+var db = 'test';
+var table = 'testtable'
+
+r.connect({db}, function(err, conn) {
+    r.db(db).tableCreate(table).run(conn, function() {
+        r.db(db).tableList().run(conn, console.log);
+    });
+});
 ```
+
+To publish the package run `npm publish dist` with the appropriate credentials.
