Hi,
I have created a site collection where I have activated few publishing features and PowerPivot related features for BI using below link.

After setting this site with required features I added few PowerView Reports(.bism,.rdlx) and Custom List and saved this site as a Template. "MyCustomSiteTemplate"
Now I need to create another site collection based on this new custom site template using PowerShell script. Using CA UI it's straight forward but I would like to achieve this using PowerShell Script.
From my understanding steps would be as follows:
1. Create new Site collection
2. Upload .wsp(site template) to new site's soultion gallary.
3. Activate features which are activated in custom template
4.Apply Custom Template to Site collection.
But I am not sure how I can do this using PowerShell script. I found below link which is based on the same question.
