Every time I go to deploy a feature from outside Visual Studio I forget the PowerShell commands.
I found the Corey Roth has a great blog entry about it and I end up going there.
So I decided to finally write up what I do. After using stsadmin for so long it’s hard to make the adjustment to PowerShell.
Here is the first step to add a Farm Solution.
Add-SPSolution <File Path>\<WSP Filename>
(For ex, Add-SPSolution C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Deploy\Deploy_Service_Lists.wsp)
The next step is to install the solution.
Install-SPSolution –Identity <WSP Filename> p –GACDeployment
(For ex, Install-SPSolution –Identity Deploy_Service_Requests_Lists.wsp –GACDeployment)
*If you use Add-SPUserSolution it will be sandboxed solution. Which I’ve done before at a client and I couldn’t find the solution because I used the wrong command.
** Workflows are a little different because they are not scoped at the farm level. Here is the link to deploy a workflow.
