# Quickstart

From sign-up to your first sale or first log: account, organization, server, plan, resource and bot.

This guide takes you from zero to a city running on FiveDash. It's the short path: every step has a page with all the details. If your FiveM server is already live and you have a Discord bot created, you'll usually be done in a few minutes.

## Before you start

* An e-mail you can access (or a Discord account, if Discord sign-in shows on the screen).
* Access to your FiveM server's `server.cfg` and `resources` folder.
* Your city's public address (a `cfx.re/join/...` link or `IP:port`) if you want to show status and players. It's optional.
* To connect the bot: access to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) and admin permission on your city's Discord server.

## Step by step

### Create your account

On `/cadastro`, fill in **E-mail**, **Password** and **Confirm password** and click **Create account**. Enter the 6-digit code sent to your e-mail and click **Verify e-mail**. Details in [Create an account](https://fivedash.fivex.gg/docs/en/getting-started/create-account).

### Tell us who you are

The **Get started** screen (`/comecar`) opens on its own. In the **You** step, enter your **Name** and, optionally, your **Discord** username, then click **Continue**.

### Create the organization

In the **Organization** step, enter the **Organization name** (e.g. Cidade Exemplo) and pick the panel's **Address** (e.g. `cidade-exemplo`). Click **Continue**.

### Add the first server

In the **Server** step, enter the **Server name** and, optionally, the **Address** (`cfx.re/join/abc123` or `0.0.0.0:30120`). Click **Add server**.

### Invite the team (or leave it for later)

In the **Team** step, add e-mails and pick **Admin** or **Member**. Click **Invite** or **Do this later**. Details in [Your first city](https://fivedash.fivex.gg/docs/en/getting-started/first-city).

### Choose the plan

The dashboard opens with **Choose your organization's plan**. Pick the **Tier**, the **Modules** and, if you want, **FiveDash AI**. Click **Start 7-day free trial**: no card needed. See [Plans and billing](https://fivedash.fivex.gg/docs/en/getting-started/plans-and-billing).

### Install the fivedash resource on your city

Open any module (for example **Discord**). **Connect** followed by the server name appears (e.g. **Connect Cidade Exemplo**). Click **Generate key**, then **Download fivedash.zip**, extract the `fivedash` folder into `resources`, add `ensure fivedash` to `server.cfg` after the framework and restart the server. The screen switches to **Connected** on its own. Details in [Install the resource](https://fivedash.fivex.gg/docs/en/getting-started/install-resource).

### Connect the Discord bot

In **Discord → Bot**, create an application in the Developer Portal, paste the bot token and pick the Discord server. See [Bot](https://fivedash.fivex.gg/docs/en/discord/bot).

### First sale or first log

To sell: in **Store**, finish the initial setup, connect a provider in **Payments** and create a product in **Products**. For logs: in **Logs**, create a log and send the first event through the webhook or the resource export. See [Store](https://fivedash.fivex.gg/docs/en/store/overview) and [Create logs](https://fivedash.fivex.gg/docs/en/logs/create-logs).

> A server's modules only open after the fivedash resource connects for the first time. The server's **Overview** is always open.

## What you'll have at the end

| Server connected to the game      | **Server → Overview → Game connection** shows **Connected** and the detected framework |
| 7-day free trial                  | Card at the bottom of the sidebar (e.g. **Pro trial**) and **Settings → Plan**         |
| City bot online                   | **Discord → Bot**                                                                      |

## FAQ

**Do I need to pay to try it?** No. The free trial lasts 7 days, on any plan, with no card, and unlocks every module and FiveDash AI.

**Can I skip the resource and set up the bot first?** Not on the live dashboard: each server's modules stay closed until the resource connects once.

**I got the organization's name or address wrong. Now what?** You can change both later in **Settings → General**.
