Installation Basics

A simple starting point for installing One Life Developments resources on your FiveM or RedM server.

Before you begin

1. Download the resource from your authorized purchase or Cfx.re asset library.
2. Review the product's Requirements and README. Different products depend on different frameworks and database systems.
3. Back up your server configuration and database before upgrading existing resources.
4. Keep the original resource folder name unless its README explicitly says to change it.

Standard resource installation

Place the complete resource folder inside your server resources directory. For example:

resources/
  [one-life]/
    rr_lawbook/
      fxmanifest.lua
      client/
      server/
      shared/
      html/
      sql/

Add the required framework and libraries before the resource in your server.cfg. This example is specifically for Frontier Lawbook:

ensure oxmysql
ensure vorp_core
ensure rr_lawbook

Note: Always follow the dependency order specified in each resource's documentation. Do not use the example above for unrelated products without checking their requirements.

Database setup

Some resources include SQL files. For a fresh installation, import the supplied sql/install.sql if the README requires it. For an existing installation, use only the upgrade migrations for your installed version. Back up the database first.

Test before going live

• Check the server console for startup errors.
• Confirm that required dependencies started successfully.
• Test permissions with an authorized account and an ordinary player.
• Verify data survives a restart when the resource stores persistent records.
• Check release-specific features on a private test server before selling or advertising them as production-ready.
