There are two ways to install FSM.
Starting from 0.0.9 and after, in releases there is an executable file named fsm.
You need to download this and put it into one of the locations in your $PATH
Also make sure it is marked executable chmod +x fsm
Currently you need to make the database file yourself (unless you are migrating from pre-v1). Do the following:
mkdir ~/.fsm
touch ~/.fsm/fsm.sqlite- PHP 7.1+
- PHP MBString
- PHP JSON
- PHP SQLite3
- Linux
- Screen
Ubuntu 16+ users: sudo apt install php php-mbstring php-json php-sqlite3 screen
You must have composer installed and its own requirements
Run the following command:
composer global require tnovalis/fivem-servermanager --no-dev
Once you do that you need to add your composer vendor bin to you $PATH
On Ubuntu, and most Linux distros this is in .config/composer/vendor/bin
If you use Bash for your shell you need to edit .profile to add it to your $PATH

- The few of composers requirements
Ubuntu 16+ users: sudo apt install php php-mbstring php-json php-zip composer screen
Migrating from pre-v1 is simple, all you need to do is the following command:
fsm self:migrate
The first command you should run is this:
fsm fivem:install [<PATH>]
This will install FiveM and save the path for when starting the server.
Since FiveM requires a license key, you must get one here FSM allows you to easily set it.
fsm config:menu
Navigate to Set License, press Enter and put your license.
After that I recommend running this:
fsm server:path [<PATH>]
This will set the server path, making it easier to create servers.
If you want features such as the server automatically restarting after crashing, you need to use fsm schedule:run
This is easy to setup.
All you need to do is put the following into your cron:
* * * * * php /path/to/fsm schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
No support will be given on how to access your cron file.
To update FiveM
fsm fivem:update
To display all config settings
fsm config:dump
To create a server
fsm server:create [<NAME>] [<PATH>]
You don't need to specify the path if the server:path is set.
To list the servers
fsm server:list --path
This will display a servers status and also check if a server crashed. You can also use --path to see the server's path in the table.
To send a message to the server
fsm server:say [<NAME>] [<MESSAGE>]
The message must be in quotes unless you omit it in the initial command.
To start a server
fsm server:start [<NAME>]
To stop a server
fsm server:stop [<NAME>] [--no-warning]
If you specify --no-warning the server will not send a message in chat about the shutdown.
To restart a server schedulable
fsm server:restart [<NAME>] [--no-warning]
To backup a server schedulable
fsm server:backup [<NAME>]
This will output where it backed the server up to.
To delete a server
fsm server:delete [<NAME>] [--no-backup]
If you specify --no-backup the server will not be backed up before removal.
To rename a server
fsm server:rename [<NAME>] [<NEW-NAME>]
To fix crashed servers schedulable
fsm server:fix
