Feature Activation with Powershell

Question

I am looking for a good example of powershell script for SP2010 with which I could activate my features with prior check if feature has been deployed (some are "web" and some are "site" scoped. Could you please guide me or provide some samples.

Code of checking if a feature is activated or not

$featureGuid = "PUT-GUID-HERE"
$web = Get-SPWeb http://localhost
$feature = $web.Features[$featureGuid]
if ($feature -eq $null) { "does not activated" } else { "activated" }
does not activated
