How to Install Resources and Scripts on FiveM

FiveM servers run resources: scripts, maps, vehicles, and frameworks. Here's how to add them.

How resources work

Each resource is a folder inside the resources/ directory. You tell the server which ones to load by adding ensure resource-name lines to server.cfg.

Installing a resource

  1. Download the resource (usually a ZIP from GitHub or a FiveM store).
  2. Extract it so you have a folder named e.g. my-script containing a fxmanifest.lua file.
  3. In the panel, go to Files and open the resources/ folder.
  4. Upload the resource folder (use the Upload button or SFTP, see the SFTP guide).
  5. Open server.cfg and add: ensure my-script
  6. Restart your server.

Popular frameworks

  • QBCore: Modern roleplay framework. Install qb-core first, then QBCore resources.
  • ESX: Established roleplay framework with a large resource library.
  • vRP: Lightweight alternative roleplay framework.

Resource load order

Some resources depend on others. Always ensure the core framework (e.g. qb-core) before any resources that depend on it in server.cfg.

Removing a resource

Remove or comment out its ensure line in server.cfg and restart. The folder remains in resources/ but will not load.
