Install scripts (resources) and edit your server.cfg

FiveM scripts are called resources. A resource is a folder with an fxmanifest.lua in it. You put it in your server's resources folder and start it from the server.cfg.

1. Upload the resource

1. Download the script and unpack it on your computer. Check that the folder contains an fxmanifest.lua.
2. In the game panel, open Files and go to the resources folder.
3. Upload the folder with Upload and then Upload Folders, or use SFTP for big scripts.

You can also put resources in subfolders in brackets, such as [scripts]. FiveM finds them there too.

2. Start the resource

1. Go to server.cfg editor.
2. At the bottom, under Resources, type the folder name, for example my-script, and click Add. That adds a line ensure my-script to your server.cfg.
3. Click Save at the top and restart your server.

The order matters: resources start from top to bottom. Put a script that needs another script, such as something for ESX or QBCore, below that other script. Use the bin icon to remove a resource again.

Other settings in the server.cfg editor

The most important settings are at the top as plain fields: Hostname, Max Players, License Key, Tags and Locale. Further down you find, among others:

• OneSync: needed for more than 32 players and for many modern scripts. Set it to on.
• Project Name and Project Description: the title and description in the server list.

Want to add a line that has no field, such as a set line for a script? Click Manual Edit and edit the server.cfg as text. Don't forget to click Save afterwards.

Script not working?

• Check the console while the server starts. An error like Couldn't find resource means the folder name doesn't match the name under Resources.
• Check that the script supports your framework and FiveM version.
• Seeing old or broken textures after an update? Clear the cache.
