1.1 Downloading FiveM
Go to https://fivem.net

Visit FiveM's official website for the latest version of the client.
Download the client

Click on the “Download Client” button and accept the terms to start downloading the installation file.
Install FiveM

Once the file is downloaded, open the installer file to begin the installation.
The FiveM client will automatically download necessary files, including GTA V resources, to be used for FiveM.
Note: Make sure your anti-virus program is not blocking FiveM's installation, as some anti-virus programs may misregister the files.
1.2 Setting up the FiveM client
Start FiveM

Once the installation is complete, open the FiveM client. The client will start by configuring the system for best performance.
Connect your FiveM account (optional)

You may choose to create a FiveM account to access certain features and server-specific permissions. This is optional but recommended for a better user experience.
Connect to your GTA V installation

FiveM requires you to have a valid installation of GTA V. The client will find the installation itself if it is located in the default folder. If FiveM doesn't automatically find your GTA V folder, you can manually specify the location.
Configure graphics and performance

After setup, you can customize your graphics settings and performance via the FiveM client menu. Adjust resolution and graphics levels to optimize performance, especially if you have an older computer.
Connect to a server

Now the FiveM client is ready to use! Go to the server browser in FiveM, where you can search for and connect to servers. You can also enter a specific server IP if you want to connect to a specific server.
1.3 Troubleshooting (If you experience problems)
GTA V and FiveM update
Make sure both GTA V and FiveM are updated to the latest versions.

Turn off unwanted programs
Some programs can affect FiveM's performance, so make sure resource-hungry applications are closed.

Temporarily disable antivirus
If antivirus is blocking FiveM, you can temporarily disable it or add FiveM as an exception.

This section ensures that you are fully ready to use the FiveM client and get started on different servers without any problems!

Section 2: Create and Host Your Own FiveM Server with TxAdmin

2.1 Preparations: Choose Hosting (VPS or Dedicated Server)
Hosting a FiveM server requires a strong internet connection and solid server capacity, which is usually achieved through:

VPS (Virtual Private Server): Ideal for smaller communities and costs less, but with potential resource limitations.
Dedicated Server: Better for larger servers and larger player bases, but can be more expensive.
Choose an operating system like Windows Server or Linux and make sure you have root/admin access as it is required for installation and setup.

2.2 FiveM Patreon Subscription (EUP and Vehicles)
To enable features like EUP (Emergency Uniform Pack) and custom vehicles, a subscription to FiveM's official Patreon is required:

Patreon Level: At least "Element Club Argentum" level is required to access extra features like EUP and specialized vehicles.
When you're signed up as a Patreon subscriber, you get a key that activates these features on the server.
2.3 Download and Setup FiveM Server Artifacts
Download the Artifact files

Go to FiveM's Artifact page and download the latest version of the server files (Artifacts).
Choose the correct build for your operating system (Windows or Linux).
Create a new folder for the FiveM server

Create a new folder, e.g. fivem server, on your VPS or dedicated server. This will be the primary folder for the server files.
Move the Artifact files

Extract the downloaded Artifact files and move them to the newly created fivem-server folder.
This will include files like FXServer.exe or run.sh (depending on your operating system) which are used to start the server.
2.4 Configuration and Start of TxAdmin
Start TxAdmin

In the fivem-server folder, find and run FXServer.exe (Windows) or run.sh (Linux). This will automatically launch TxAdmin, which is a web-based administration tool for FiveM servers.
Create a TxAdmin Account and Server Profile

When TxAdmin opens, you will be asked to create an account and a server profile. Follow the instructions to name and configure the server.
Log in to the TxAdmin dashboard via your browser to access all administration tools.
Enter Server Key and Patreon Information

Go to FiveM Keymaster and create a server key for your server. This key must be used to authorize your server on the FiveM network.
Paste the server key into TxAdmin under the server configuration settings.
As a Patreon subscriber, make sure your Patreon account is linked to your FiveM account to access EUP and vehicle features.
2.5 Adding EUP and Custom Vehicles
Once your Patreon subscription is active, you can add EUP and custom vehicle resources to your server:
Place the EUP and vehicle files in the resources folder of fivem server.
Add start eup-stream and other desired resources in the server configuration file (server.cfg) to ensure that they are started with the server.
2.6 Start and Test the Server
Start the Server through the TxAdmin dashboard. TxAdmin makes it easy to monitor the server, manage players, and perform other administrative tasks.
Connect to your server using the server's IP address or find it in FiveM's server browser.
2.7 Troubleshooting and Optimization
If you experience problems during setup:

Check the TxAdmin logs for error messages.
Update the Server key if you have problems with authentication.
Adjust server resources to improve performance.
With these steps, you're ready to manage a FiveM server with TxAdmin, including EUP and custom vehicles through your FiveM Patreon subscription.
