Beginner-to-advanced guide to installing, configuring database tables, and starting QBCore resources without crashes on FiveM servers.
Download the resource zip file from your BlueNode purchase library. Extract the folder into your server directory under resources/[qb] or resources/[standalone]. Ensure the folder name does not contain spaces or special characters.
If the script includes an .sql file, open HeidiSQL or phpMyAdmin, select your server database, and run the query. This creates necessary tables for inventory items, vehicles, or user metadata.
Open your server.cfg file and add ensure [folder-name] below your framework start lines. Restart your server or type refresh followed by ensure [folder-name] in the server console.
Yes, you can run "refresh" and "ensure [resource-name]" in txAdmin or server console, but a full restart is recommended for resources with database migrations.
