Step 1: Download the Resource

  • Find a resource from a trusted FiveM website (e.g., Cfx.re forums, GitHub, or a private developer).

  • Ensure the resource is compatible with your server version.

  • Download the resource, which is typically in a .zip format.


Step 2: Extract and Place the Resource

  • Extract the .zip file using WinRAR or 7-Zip.

  • Rename the folder if necessary (avoid spaces or special characters in the folder name).

  • Move the extracted folder to:

    server-data/resources/

Step 3: Configure the server.cfg

  • Open your server.cfg file located in the server-data directory.

  • Add the following line at the bottom to ensure the resource starts:

    ensure resource_name

    (Replace resource_name with the actual folder name of the resource.)


Step 4: Install Dependencies (If Required)

  • Some resources require additional scripts or dependencies (such as MySQL, essentialmode, or framework compatibility).

  • Read the README.md or documentation provided with the resource to install dependencies.


Step 5: Restart the Server

  • Restart your FiveM server using one of the following methods:

    • Stop and start the server manually.

    • Use the refresh command in the server console.

    • Use the restart resource_name command in the server console.


Step 6: Verify Installation

  • Check the server console for any errors.

  • Use the command:

    ensure resource_name
    • If successful, it should load without errors.

  • If applicable, test the resource in-game.

Step 7: Debugging Issues (If Any)

  • If the resource does not work:

    • Check server console logs for errors.

    • Ensure you installed all dependencies.

    • Verify the resource is compatible with your server version.

    • Look at the FiveM forums or Discord for troubleshooting help.
