### 1. Download Script

{% hint style="danger" icon="1" %}

#### Download the Script from the FiveM Portal Website

1. [**👉 Download cd\_bridge →**](https://portal.cfx.re/assets/granted-assets?search=cd_bridge)
2. Unzip the downloaded file.
3. In your server’s `resources` directory, create a folder named **`[codesign]`** if it does not already exist.
4. Place **`cd_bridge`** (and all other Codesign scripts) inside the **`[codesign]`** folder

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 2. Resource Start Order

{% hint style="danger" icon="2" %}

#### Configure `server.cfg` Correctly

After placing the script inside the **`[codesign]`** folder, ensure it starts last.

Add this to the bottom of your `server.cfg`:

```
ensure [codesign]
```

**Why?**\
`cd_bridge` auto-detects and integrates with frameworks (ESX / QBCore / QBox) and other scripts such as inventory, phone, fuel, vehicle keys, and notifications.

These scripts must start **before** `[codesign]` for detection to work correctly.

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Important

⚠️ Place <kbd>**`ensure [codesign]`**</kbd> at the very bottom of your <kbd>**`server.cfg`**</kbd>.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 3. Configure Script

{% hint style="danger" icon="3" %}

#### Bridge Configuration

You should review all configurable options in `cd_bridge/shared/config.lua` to understand what is available.

* We recommend leaving the bridge config as default so it can automatically detect your supported scripts.
* Each config option includes a commented list showing which scripts are supported.
* Only edit these values if you want to manually choose which integration the bridge should use.
