Install scripts

A step-by-step guide for installing FiveM scripts on your server.

---

Before You Start

Always check the script's documentation for:

• ✅ Required framework (ESX, QBCore, or standalone)

• ✅ Any dependencies that must be installed first

• ✅ Whether a database (SQL) setup is needed

• ✅ The correct resource name to use in server.cfg

1

Step 1 — Download the Script

• Download the .zip file from our store or the provided link

• If you purchased it, check your email or account page for the download

2

Step 2 — Extract the Files

1. Right-click the .zip → Extract All

2. Check the extracted folder name — it should match the resource name in the docs

3. Rename it if needed (no spaces in the folder name)

Make sure you're adding the inner folder (the one with fxmanifest.lua inside it), not a wrapper folder.

3

Step 3 — Upload to Your Server

Place the extracted folder inside your server's resources/ directory.

Example structure:

Example

FXServer/
└── resources/
    └── [cjm]/
        └── cjm-scriptname/
            ├── fxmanifest.lua
            ├── client/
            └── server/

We recommend organising your resources in subfolders like [cjm], [esx], [custom] — this keeps things tidy and doesn't affect functionality.

Step 4 — Import the Database (if required)

Some scripts need database tables to store data.

1. Open your database manager (e.g. HeidiSQL, phpMyAdmin, or DBeaver)

2. Connect to your server's database

3. Open the .sql file included with the script

4. Run / execute the SQL

5. Confirm the new tables appear in your database

5

Step 5 — Configure the Script

1. Open the config.lua (or config.js / config.json) file in the resource folder

2. Read through each option and adjust to fit your server

3. Save the file

Common config settings you may need to change:

Setting	What to set
Framework	'esx' or 'qb-core' depending on your server
Discord Webhook	Paste a webhook URL from your Discord server
Permissions / Job	Set which job or role can access features
Database name	Usually auto-detected, but check if errors occur

6

Step 6 — Add to server.cfg

Open your server.cfg and add:

server.cfg

ensure cjm-scriptname

Make sure this line comes after any dependencies the script requires.

7

Step 7 — Restart Your Server

1. Save all files

2. Restart your FiveM server (or use restart cjm-scriptname in the txAdmin console if it was already running)

3. Check the server console for any errors on startup

Troubleshooting Install Issues

Problem	Fix
resource not found	Check the folder name matches exactly what's in server.cfg
fxmanifest.lua not found	You've added the wrong (outer) folder — go one level deeper
SQL errors on startup	Make sure you ran the .sql file in your database
Script loads but doesn't work	Check your config.lua — wrong framework or missing dependency
Dependency error	Install the listed dependency first and ensure it before this script
