This is a tutorial about how to install FiveM mods
Installing FiveM mods is not a hard challenge. The installation of our mods offered on bestfivem.com is fast and works without problems. We will show you how to add new resources and scripts to your server. This tutorial can be used for every FiveM resource.
Step 1: Find and download your FiveM mod
First off, download the resource. You will receive a zip. or .rar file. The file might look like this:
As you can see on the screenshot, there is a folder in the package. This is your script.

Step 2: Drag & drop the folder to your “resources” folder
Open your server directory and double-click the resources folder. As you can see, there are all resources inside:
Drag & drop the script file (the folder above called eclipse_cad in this example) to this folder.
Step 3: Edit your server.cfg
When you’re done, open your server.cfg file and add
start scriptname
to your server.cfg. It should look like this then (example):
And you’re done. Wasn’t that hard, right? If your script requires importing a .SQL file, you also need to do this.
Restart your server
After you’re done, don’t forget to restart your server so your new fivem mods get loaded right away.

How to install scripts and maps

How to install FiveM Server Templates
This tutorial is for all server presets that we offer here in our shop
1. Unpack all data from the “resources” folder into your Zaphosting “resources” folder.
2. Open the .SQL file that is included with an editor / notepad.
3. Go to “Search and replace” and replace all “essentialmode” with your database name. It looks like this: “zap-xxx123”.
4. Upload the SQL (import).
5. Change your Server.cfg to Zaphosting. Only take over the “start” or “ensure” lines that activate the resources.
6. Start the server on your FiveM server hosting. Finished!
