Installing FXServer and txAdmin
In short
The official quick route is txAdmin: download the artifacts, run them, and txAdmin sets up the rest in your browser. The vanilla route — cfx-server-data plus your own server.cfg — still works and shows what txAdmin does for you.
- Create
C:\FXServer\serverand download the recommended Windows build (server.7z) from the Server Download page. - Extract it into that folder with 7-Zip or WinRAR.
- Double-click
FXServer.exe. txAdmin opens in your browser — check that the PIN is filled in and click Link Account. - Log in with your Cfx.re account, allow access, and create the admin panel password.
- Name the server, choose Popular Recipes and pick one. CFX Default needs no database; framework recipes (ESX, QBCore, Qbox) do.
- Run the recipe deployer, enter your server key from portal.cfx.re, then click Save & Run Server.
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'C:\FXServer\'Linux. Cfx.re calls the Linux build a courtesy port — Windows receives fixes first — but many large servers run on Linux without trouble. You need xz-utils to unpack the build.
sudo apt install -y xz-utils curl git
mkdir -p ~/FXServer/server && cd ~/FXServer/server
wget "<recommended fx.tar.xz URL from the Server Download page>"
tar xf fx.tar.xz
./run.sh # starts txAdmin on port 40120git clone https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data.git ~/FXServer/server-data
cd ~/FXServer/server-data
# create server.cfg (see the next chapter), then:
bash ~/FXServer/server/run.sh +exec server.cfg Checklist
- Server key created on portal.cfx.re
