Powershell script to deploy/move a wsp/solution file from local drive to SharePoint 2016

Question

I am new to an On-Prem environment. I am trying to automate the deploying or moving of Farm based solution and wsp packages from a local drive to SharePoint 2016 site collection.

I am a newbie to Powershell scripting.

Can someone please provide me with code to move the solution files from local drive and upload them to a SP 2016 site collection and also activate?

Any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Take a look on Add-SPSolution and Install-SPSolution PowerShell commands.

Ex:

• Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath c:\solution1.wsp
• Install-SPSolution -Identity solution1.wsp -WebApplication http://webapurl -GACDeployment

Answer 2

You'd better refer the steps from the blog below to install wsp package to SharePoint with PowerShell:
