Good day EricLee,

You can use the PowerShell snap-in to automate the deployment of package files (*.kspx) to target environments. This may be especially useful where it is necessary to make regular or frequent package deployments, or where script-based installations and updates are preferred.
*The PowerShell snap-in functionality cannot be used to create packages, but only to deploy ones you create using K2 Package and Deployment.

Please refer the help guide below for more information:

Please see the following links as well for additional information:

Kind regards,

Good day EricLee

Please note that you cannot deploy packages containing SharePoint artifacts with the Powershell snap-in, you must use K2 Package and Deployment.

See the following.

Hi  @Sunrise, 

Noted that we cannot deploy packages containing SharePoint artifacts with the Powershell snap-in, is there other ways that we can automate the package deployment that containing SharePoint artifacts?

Also, can Powershell automate the steps of create package? 

Thank you,

Eric
