Installing vs Updating
If you're updating vMenu, instead of installing it from scratch, you need to make sure that you REPLACE ALL files, EXCEPT your permissions.cfg and all files in the vMenu/config/ folder!
IMPORTANT: Before installing vMenu, make sure your FXServer artifacts are up to date. Please update the server first, since many issues are caused by outdated artifacts.
IMPORTANT: If you're updating vMenu from any version below v3.3.0, and you want to keep your saved bans, please read the changelog for the update here.
Installation steps
- Download vMenu-3.9.2.zip, the last version of the original vMenu, or use the "Download vMenu" button on the left side of this page. Newer releases on the releases page only contain vMenu Enhanced.
- Once you've got your zip file, extract the files and copy everything into
/resources/vMenu/so that you end up with thefxmanifest.lua(previously__resource.lua) file right here:/resources/vMenu/fxmanifest.lua.
If you're trying to join the server, and it gives you an error saying "Could not load resource vMenu" or something similar, then make sure that you've installed vMenu inside /resources/vMenu/ and NOT inside /resources/vMenu/vMenu/! Also note that the resource folder name MUST be called vMenu (Case Sensitive!!!) or the script will not work.
- Now that you've got your files inside
/resources/vMenu/, go into the/resources/vMenu/config/folder and edit thepermissions.cfgfile to your liking. - Go to your
server.cfgfile, and addexec @vMenu/config/permissions.cfgABOVE theensure vMenuline (addensure vMenuif you haven't done that already). It's very important that you FIRST execute the permissions file, and THEN start or ensure vMenu. Otherwise vMenu will not function correctly!
Alternatively, if you don't want to go through any of these installation steps, you can install vMenu using their one click installer! Don't have a FiveM server yet? Click here to get a server, and use the code Vespura-a-3715 at checkout for a 10% discount!
- Save the server.cfg file and start your server. Once you're in, you should be able to access most menus just fine without having to configure anything inside the
permissions.cfg. This is because it is set up to have certain permissions for everyone by default, and only the administrator and moderator sensitive options have been removed from the default permissions file.
Congratulations, you've just installed vMenu in its most basic, plug and play configuration.
- To learn more about the configuration options that vMenu has to offer, check out the Configuration page.
- To learn more about how to set up the permissions.cfg file, take a look at the Permissions Reference page.
Installing with txAdmin
The original vMenu no longer has a txAdmin recipe. The vMenu recipes in txAdmin now install vMenu Enhanced, the new vMenu that runs on both FiveM Legacy and FiveM Enhanced. See Installing on FiveM Legacy for how that works.

Support / Trouble Shooting
vMenu (Legacy) is no longer actively supported — it now only receives small updates when community pull requests are merged or when a FiveM update adds new content, while work is underway on vMenu Enhanced. You're still welcome to ask questions in my Discord server or on the forum topic, but any help is community-provided and not guaranteed. Most issues are already answered there or here in the docs. See the Troubleshooting & Support page for more details.
