### 1. Codesign Bridge

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

#### **This script requires `cd_bridge` to be installed and running before it can function**

**`cd_bridge`** is plug-and-play and requires no setup. It automatically handles:

* Framework integration
* Database setup
* Script compatibility
* Error Handling

Once started, it will detect and connect to all supported scripts automatically.

[**👉 See the \[Full Bridge Setup Guide\] →**](https://docs.codesign.pro/paid-scripts/bridge/installation-guide)
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 2. Download Script

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

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

1. [**👉 Download cd\_garage →**](https://portal.cfx.re/assets/granted-assets?search=cd_garage)
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_garage`** (and all other Codesign scripts ) inside the **`[codesign]`** folder
   {% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 3. Install Dependencies

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

#### **Required & Optional Dependencies**

* Dependencies are either included in **`[cd_garage/dependencies]`** or have a text file with a download link (GitHub/Cfx Portal).
* Place them in your server’s **`[codesign]`** folder
* ⚠️ Do not place them inside the `cd_garage` folder
* Required dependencies start automatically
  {% endhint %}

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th width="174.66670735677081">Resource Name</th><th width="115.3333740234375">Download</th><th width="112.3333740234375" data-type="checkbox">Required</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong><code>cd_garageshell</code></strong></td><td><code>cd_garage/dependancies</code></td><td>true</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong><code>cd_drawtextui</code></strong></td><td><a href="https://github.com/dsheedes/cd_drawtextui">Github</a></td><td>false</td><td>Default draw-text UI</td></tr><tr><td><strong><code>cd_keymaster</code></strong></td><td><a href="https://github.com/dsheedes/cd_keymaster">Github</a></td><td>false</td><td>Default vehicle lockpicking</td></tr></tbody></table>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 4. Database Setup (SQL)

{% hint style="danger" icon="4" %}

#### No manual SQL setup required.

The script automatically inserts all required database tables.

```lua
Config.AutoInsertSQL = true
```

Make sure this is enabled in `cd_garage/configs/config.lua`.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 5. Configure Script

{% hint style="danger" icon="5" %}

#### Review the `config.lua` Settings

Open <kbd>**cd\_garage/configs/config.lua**</kbd> and check the available settings.

* Update the options that are needed for your server.
* Read the comments next to each option, as they explain what each setting does.
  {% endhint %}
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 5. Configure Key Binds

{% hint style="danger" icon="5" %}

#### Configure Before Starting the Resource

**Before Starting the Resource**

* Before launching this resource on your main or live server, we strongly recommend configuring your key binds first.
* This resource uses [FiveM’s Key Mapping](https://docs.codesign.pro/helpful-guides/register-key-mapping) system.

**Where Can I Configure My Key Binds?**

* You can configure all key binds directly in **`cd_garage/configs/config.lua`**.

**Why Is This Important?**

* Once a player joins your server with this resource running, you can no longer force key bind changes through the config file.
* Players must adjust their key binds manually through the in-game pause menu settings.
* Any changes you make will still apply to new players who join afterward.
* This system is more optimized and gives players the flexibility to customize their key binds for both keyboard and controller use.
* You can also review the [Default key Binds](/paid-scripts/dispatch3d/developer-api/keys.md) binds provided with this resource.
