How to Install QBCore
QBCore can be installed manually, however, here at Iceline Hosting we offer a one-click mod manager that enables you to install frameworks and mods such as QBCore with ease.
- Navigate to the Iceline Game Panel and select your service.
- Once you’ve selected your server, navigate over to the ‘Mods’ tab as shown in the screenshot below.
As mentioned previously, QBCore can be installed manually, however, within the ‘Mod Manager’, the full QBCore framework and resources are packed together to save you the hassle of downloading and unpacking them all yourself.
- Find ‘QBCore Framework’ from within the mod-manager, and select the ‘Install button.
- QBCore Framework will then have successfully installed, also updating your ‘server.cfg’ file to ensure all resources are started correctly upon booting your server.
If you’re familiar with using other frameworks, such as ESX for example, you’ll know that you need to set your MySQL connection string from within your ‘server.cfg’ file. This is still necessary, however, with QBCore you also need to set up your database connection elsewhere.
- To do this, begin with navigating to the ‘/resources/[standalone]/ghmattimysql’ directory and open the ‘config.json’ file. This is where we’ll be setting our database connection for QBCore.
- These credentials are to be exactly the same as the details you will have used when setting your MySQL connection string under your ‘server.cfg’ file.
- You can locate your database details by navigating to the ‘Database’ tab, pictured below.
- Once you’ve set up your database connection, you’ll be good to go!
