Installing FiveM takes a few minutes if GTA 5 is already on your PC. Follow the steps in order.
Steps
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
1 | Make sure the PC version of GTA 5 (Steam, Epic Games or Rockstar Games Launcher) is installed and up to date; open story mode once. |
2 | Download FiveM from fivem.net. Do not download “ready packs” from other sites. |
3 | Run FiveM.exe and choose where to install it. |
4 | FiveM finds your GTA 5 folder; if it cannot, it asks. Point it to the folder with GTA5.exe. |
5 | It downloads what it needs. When the main menu opens, you are done. |
If something goes wrong
“FiveM is already installed”: do not run the downloaded FiveM.exe again, open FiveM from the Start menu. “Could not find game executable”: you picked the wrong GTA 5 folder.
