2. Get the Farm account

$account = Get-SPManagedAccount FarmAccount

3. Create a new application pool using this account

$appPoolAppSvc = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name AppServiceAppPool -Account $account

4. Create the "App management" service application, using this application pool

$appAppSvc = New-SPAppManagementServiceApplication -ApplicationPool $appPoolAppSvc -Name AppServiceApp -DatabaseName NomDeLaBDD

5. Create a proxy for the service application

$proxyAppSvc = New-SPAppManagementServiceApplicationProxy -ServiceApplication $appAppSvc
