How do I change a Package.Json Name

Question

In this package.json file

{
  "name": "Orignal Name",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "An App",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": "0.10.x",
    "npm": "1.3.x"
  },
  "author": "An author",
  "license": "BSD-2-Clause",
  "dependencies": {
    "jade": "~0.35.0",
    "express": "~3.4.4",
    "stylus": "~0.40.2",
    "mongoose": "~3.8.0",
    "passport-local": "~0.1.6",
    "passport": "~0.1.17"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma-mocha": "~0.1.0",
    "mocha": "~1.14.0",
    "karma-chai-plugins": "~0.1.3",
    "karma-firefox-launcher": "~0.1.0",
    "karma-chrome-launcher": "~0.1.0",
    "karma-script-launcher": "~0.1.0",
    "karma-html2js-preprocessor": "~0.1.0",
    "karma-jasmine": "~0.1.3",
    "requirejs": "~2.1.9",
    "karma-requirejs": "~0.2.0",
    "karma-coffee-preprocessor": "~0.1.0",
    "karma-phantomjs-launcher": "~0.1.0",
    "karma": "~0.10.5"
  }
}

How Do I change the "name": attribute "Original Name" to "New Name" without breaking npm install.

I tried simply updating the name and attempting npm install but npm install won't read the package.json file now.

Thanks in advance

just edit the name in package.json. The name must following the rules https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#name
