How To Install Resources on Your RedM Server

Learn how to install resources, scripts, and mods on your RedM dedicated server.

Resources are the building blocks of a RedM server. They include scripts, maps, game modes, UI elements, and other functionality that extend and customize the player experience.

Stop Your Server

Make sure your server is stopped before installing resources.

Download the Resource

Download the resource you want to install. Common sources for RedM resources include:

  • GitHub - Many open-source RedM resources
  • Community forums and Discord servers
  • Resource marketplaces

Make sure the resource is compatible with RedM (not just FiveM).

Open Files

In the sidebar, click Files.

Navigate to the Resources Folder

Navigate to the resources directory. If your server uses category folders, navigate to the appropriate subfolder (e.g., resources/[scripts]/).

Upload the Resource

Click Upload and upload the resource folder. If the resource is in a ZIP file, upload the ZIP and then extract it using the Unarchive button.

Make sure the resource folder structure is correct. The resource folder should contain a fxmanifest.lua or __resource.lua file at its root level.

Add the Resource to server.cfg

Open your server.cfg file and add an ensure line for the resource:

ensure my-resource-name

The resource name should match the folder name in the resources directory.

Start Your Server

Click Start to launch your server with the new resource loaded.

Verify the Resource

Check the Console in the panel to make sure the resource started without errors. Look for any error messages related to the resource name.

⚠️ Warning: Only install resources from trusted sources. Malicious resources can compromise your server or steal player data.

💡 Tip: If a resource requires dependencies (other resources it needs to function), make sure you install those first and list them before the dependent resource in your server.cfg. For more details on server configuration, see Configure Your Server.
