Before starting

Before following all the steps for creating the server, it is necessary to have a license key, which must be registered on the Cfx.re Keymaster service. The IP must match the IP on which the key will be used for the first time. Thereafter, the key can be used on any IP, but only on one server at a time.
Note: This procedure is also necessary if you buy a Game Server from RacKore!

Let's start creating our FiveM Server (local)


Windows

  1. Create a new directory (for example D: \ FXServer \ server), this will be used for the server binaries.
  2. Download the recommended server version on the following server artifacts page.
  3. Extract the contents of the downloaded server.zip archive into the directory created (point 1).
  4. Download cfx-server-data and place everything in a new folder outside the server binary folder (for example D: \ FXServer \ server-data).
  5. Create a server.cfg file in the server-data folder (see below for an example).
  6. Set the license key in your server.cfg using sv_licenseKey "licenseKeyGoesHere".
  7. Run the server from the server-data folder. For example, in a simple Windows Command Prompt window (cmd.exe): 
cd /d D:\FXServer\server-data
D:\FXServer\server\FXServer.exe +exec server.cfg
(the / d flag is only needed when changing directories somewhere on a different drive)

Linux

  1. Create a new directory (e.g.  mkdir -p /home/username/FXServer/server), this will be used for server binaries.
  2. Download the recommended server version on the following server artifacts page.
  3. Extract the build to the directory that was created earlier, using  cd /home/username/FXServer/server && tar xf fx.tar.xz (you need to have xz installed, on Debian / Ubuntu, it's in the xz-utils package).
  4. Clone cfx-server-data and put everything in a new folder outside the server binaries folder (git clone https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data.git /home/username/FXServer/server-data)
  5. Create a server.cfg file in the server-data folder (see below for an example).
  6. Set the license key in your server.cfg using sv_licenseKey "licenseKeyGoesHere".
  7. Run the server from the server-data folder  (bash /home/username/FXServer/server/run.sh +exec server.cfg)
