# How to create a package accelerator by using Windows PowerShell
|
|
|
|

App-V Package Accelerators automatically sequence large, complex applications. Also, when you apply an App-V Package Accelerator, you don't have to manually install an application to create the virtualized package.
|
|
|
|
## 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, select **Start** and enter **PowerShell**. Right-click **Windows PowerShell** and select **Run as Administrator**.
|
|
3. Ensure there's the App-V package to create an accelerator from the installation media or installation files. You can also optionally use a readme file for the accelerator's users to reference.
|
|
4. Enter the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet.
|
|
|
|
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 App-V package.
|
|
- *Path* specifies the output directory for the package.
|
|
|
|
The following example cmdlet shows how you can create a package accelerator with the App-V package and the installation media:
|
|
|
|
```PowerShell
|
|
New-AppvPackageAccelerator -InputPackagePath <path to the .appv file> -Installer <path to the installer executable> -Path <directory of the output path>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use the following optional parameter with the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet:
|
|
|
|
- *AcceleratorDescriptionFile* specifies the path to user-created package accelerator instructions. The package accelerator instructions are **.txt** or **.rtf** description files that will be included in the package created by the package accelerator.
