I’ve mentioned in a previous post how to create a solution setup for SharePoint. But, sometimes we need to user the SharePoint powershell (SharePoint Management Shell) to install and deploy solutions.

Add solution

Add-SPSolution c:\solution_folder\solution_name.wsp

Install solution

Install-SPSolution –Identity solution_name.wsp –WebApplication http://sharepoint_server -GACDeployment

Update solution

Update-SPSolution –Identity solution_name.wsp –LiteralPath c:\solution_folder\solution_name.wsp –GACDeployment

Uninstall solution

Uninstall-SPSolution –Identity solution_name.wsp –WebApplication http://sharepoint_server

Remove solution

Remove-SPSolution –Identity solution_name.wsp
