npm install grunt-webapppool --save-devOnce the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-webapppool');In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named NewWebAppPool to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
grunt.initConfig({
NewWebAppPool: {
