How to install FiveM scripts (the right way)

<!--seoboost-->

Installing FiveM scripts the right way — manifests, dependencies and load order — saves hours of debugging. Here's a clean, repeatable process for any ESX or QBCore server.

Before you start

Make sure your server is on a recent artifact and that you have a working framework (ESX, QBCore or Qbox). Most scripts also need oxmysql.

Step 1 — Download and extract

Grab the resource from your FiveM Deals account under Downloads and extract the folder.

Step 2 — Drop it into resources

Move the folder into your server's resources directory. Keep the original folder name unless the docs say otherwise.

Step 3 — Ensure it in server.cfg

Add `ensure resource-name` to your server.cfg, after your framework and oxmysql.

Step 4 — Configure

Open config.lua and match the settings to your framework. Restart and test on a dev server first.

Troubleshooting

• Resource won't start? Check the server console for the exact error.
• Database errors? Confirm oxmysql is running and the SQL was imported.
