# How to Create a Package Accelerator by Using Windows PowerShell
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
- Windows 10, version 1607
|
||
|
||
App-V package accelerators automatically sequence large, complex applications. Additionally, when you apply an App-V package accelerator, you are not always required to manually install an application to create the virtualized package.
|
||
|
||
**To create a package accelerator**
|
||
|
||
1. Install the App-V sequencer. For more information about installing the sequencer see [How to Install the Sequencer](appv-install-the-sequencer.md).
|
||
|
||
2. To open a Windows PowerShell console, click **Start** and type **PowerShell**. Right-click **Windows PowerShell** and select **Run as Administrator**. Use the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet.
|
||
|
||
3. To create a package accelerator, make sure that you have the .appv package to create an accelerator from, the installation media or installation files, and optionally a read me file for consumers of the accelerator to use. The following parameters are required to use the package accelerator cmdlet:
|
||
|
||
- **InstalledFilesPath** - specifies the application installation path.
|
||
|
||
- **Installer** – specifies the path to the application installer media
|
||
|
||
- **InputPackagePath** – specifies the path to the .appv package
|
||
|
||
- **Path** – specifies the output directory for the package.
|
||
|
||
The following example displays how you can create a package accelerator with an .appv package and the installation media:
|
||
|
||
**New-AppvPackageAccelerator -InputPackagePath <path to the .appv file> -Installer <path to the installer executable> -Path <directory of the output path>**
|
||
|
||
An additional optional parameter that can be used with the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet is as follows:
|
||
|
||
- **AcceleratorDescriptionFile** - specifies the path to user created package accelerator instructions. The package accelerator instructions are **.txt** or **.rtf** description files that will be packaged with the package created using the package accelerator.
|
