Visual Studio 2010 makes it really easy to add and deploy solutions when you are developing (the F5 experience), but you may eventually want to deploy those solution packages elsewhere then on your development machine. We can still use the stsadm tool, but that is effectively considered deprecated now in favor of PowerShell. To get started with PowerShell, run the SharePoint 2010 Management Console located in your Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products folder on your start menu. This automatically loads the Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell snappin so that we can execute SharePoint commands.
