# Server Setup Guide

**Ensure you have the necessary system requirements and dependencies installed:**

* **Operating System**: remote Desktop Connection or vps ( remote Desktop recommended).
* **Software**: Git, MySQL or MariaDB (for database), Visual Studio (if you need to compile resources).\
  Download the latest FiveM server artifacts from the official [FiveM website](https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_server_windows/master/).

**Installation Procedure**\
\
Step 1: Setting Up the Server Files

* Extract the downloaded server artifacts into your preferred server directory.<br>
* Create a folder called `server-data` for storing your resources, scripts, and configuration files.<br>

Step 2: Creating the CFX Key

* Go to keymaster.fivem.net.
* Log in with your CFX account and navigate to "Register" to create a new server key.
* Fill in the necessary details, such as server name, IP address, and country.
* Copy the generated key and save it for later use.<br>

**Step 3: Configuring the `server.cfg`**

* In the `server-data` folder, create a file named `server.cfg` if it doesn’t exist.<br>
* Open `server.cfg` in a text editor and paste the following template:<br>

  > ```cfg
  > # Server Configuration
  > endpoint_add_tcp "0.0.0.0:30120"
  > endpoint_add_udp "0.0.0.0:30120"
  >
  > sv_licenseKey "YOUR_CFX_KEY_HERE"
  > sv_hostname "Your Server Name"
  > ```

**Step 4: Adding the Database**\ <br>

* Install MySQL or MariaDB and set up a new database for your server.
* Use a tool like phpMyAdmin or MySQL Workbench for easy database management.
* Create a new user with permissions to access this database.
* Update your server resources to connect to this database, typically by editing configuration files within resource folders that require database access.
