# Deploy a Package using PowerShell Script

The following steps highlight the order in which you need to create a program and deploy the Whatfix extension as a **Package**:

- **Create a Package:** Package the Whatfix extension in a format that SCCM can distribute (For example, an installer file).
- **Create a Program:** In SCCM, specifies what actions the tool should perform, such as install or uninstall the extension.
- **Deploy the Extension:** SCCM then distributes the extension to the targeted machines with the option to forcefully install or make it available for your end users to install the extension.
