# How to Add a Package
|
||
|
||
|
||
You can add a package from the Application Virtualization Server Management Console in the following ways:
|
||
|
||
- Import an application, which creates the package automatically in the process.
|
||
|
||
- Add a package manually.
|
||
|
||
It is recommended that you import applications instead of adding them manually. For more information about importing applications, see [How to Import an Application](how-to-import-an-applicationserver.md).
|
||
|
||
**To add a package manually**
|
||
|
||
1. In the Application Virtualization Server Management Console, right-click the **Packages** node in the left pane and choose **New Package**.
|
||
|
||
2. In the **New Package** dialog box, type a name in the **Package Name** field.
|
||
|
||
3. Browse for or type a path name in the **Full path for package file** field. This must be an SFT file.
|
||
|
||
**Note**
|
||
If you browse to the SFT file, replace the local path (such as C:\\Program Files\\User\_Apps\\Virtual\_App\_Server\\content) with the server's static host name or IP address. Using the variable *%SFT\_SOFTGRIDSERVER%* requires per-client computer configuration.
|
||
|
||
In dialog boxes that refer to Virtual Application Servers, you must use a network location, such as the server's static host name or IP address, that your users can access. The application's Open Software Descriptor (OSD) file can replace the placeholder variable *%SFT\_SOFTGRIDSERER%* with the server's static host name or IP address. If you leave the placeholder variable, you must set this variable on each client computer that will access that server. Set a User or System variable on each computer for SFT\_SOFTGRIDSERVER. The variable value must be the server's static host name or IP address. If you set a variable, exit the Client session, log out of and back into Microsoft Windows, and then restart the session on each computer that had a session running and had the variable set.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. Click **Next**.
|
||
|
||
5. The **Summary** dialog box shows the file location and prompts you to copy the file to the location if you have not already done so. Click **Finish** after you have verified the information.
|
||
|
||
**Note**
|
||
If you are managing applications on a remote server, in the next dialog box, type only the path of the file relative to the server's content root.
