# How to use AppendPackagesPath

## Overview

This script calls GetPackagesPath.py to collect all package paths under specified directories and appends them to PACKAGES_PATH environment variable. A sub directory is a qualified package path when an EDKII Package can be found under it.

**Notice**:
The old PACKAGES_PATH will be replaced by new one.
