Once PointFire 2013 is installed on the target server you can deploy the feature by running the PFConfiguration tool:

                Start ->PointFire 2013 ->PFConfig

• PFConfig.exe – PointFire Deployment Manager
• InstallPointFire.ps1 - to install PointFire using PowerShell.
• UpgradePointFire.ps1 - Upgrade PointFire using PowerShell.
• RemovePointFire.ps1 - To retract the solution using PowerShell

Updating PointFire 2013

If you are updating an existing PointFire 2013 deployment, launch the PointFire Deployment Manager and follow through the upgrade process, or retract then re-deploy PointFire, or navigate to the installation directory to run the upgrade script.

Note: If configuration keys in the web.config files have been edited manually after PFConfig initially set them, using PFConfig to update the PointFire may erase or overwrite some of those keys.  For safety, note the values of the keys currently in web.config prior to updating.
