ESX Legacy is an open-source FiveM roleplay framework. For a new server, use the official ESX Legacy template in txAdmin or follow the complete official installation documentation. Installing only the es_extended folder is not a complete server setup because the supported stack includes database work, required resources and an ordered startup configuration.

Set up a working FXServer first, then install a specific vRP version with its matching database driver and extensions. The upstream repository documents vRP 2; instructions written for a vRP 1 fork can use different APIs and configuration.

Install cd_easytime with the correct folder name, framework order and permissions. Review synchronization conflicts, saved settings and real-weather setup.

Find the original Coffee Cute map, select its FiveM download and check nearby map conflicts before installation.

Find Moreo’s Beach Apartment releases and resolve the beachhouse versus beach_house installation difference.
Inspect FS-ServerSideGraphics requirements, its missing data path and visual-setting changes before testing this FiveM graphics resource.
Use Envi’s six furnished and empty housing shells with the correct model names, door offsets and an existing housing system.

Before adding a Liberty City map to FiveM, verify the provenance and permission for the exact package, then test its technical fit. A seller’s download link or a claim that a port “works on FiveM” does not establish permission to redistribute the underlying game assets.

Install the identified ESX HUD fork with its actual dependencies, fuel integrations and web build requirements.
A free, open ESX script that adds shops accepting multiple currencies.

Review Pawal’s original ESX blackout mission, its resource folder, minigames and database dependencies before installing it on your server.

Find the original Kozii house-robbery script, its required ox_target integration and the server-side reward and cooldown checks that need correction.

Install the identified sf-scoreboard resource with its SQL schema, identifier configuration and business-permission checks.

To install a FiveM HUD, confirm its framework and dependencies, add its resource folder, start it after those dependencies, and test the displayed values with a normal player. A HUD that appears on screen still needs a data and usability check.

Get UZ Scripts’ Pure HUD from its creator and check framework selection, interface files, fuel display and player-state values before launch.
Find OreoShaman’s Realism Beyond and distinguish older 2.0 previews from the package and game edition you intend to install.

Use GTA V Story Mode for ordinary offline play and a private FXServer when you need to test FiveM resources alone. They are different runtimes. A Story Mode mod does not automatically work as a FiveM resource, and a server script normally needs FXServer even when only one person joins.
