Download a pre-configured version of the in-game resource from the panel. This download will already have your community ID and API key in the config.lua file.
Navigate to Customization > FiveM Integration > Download Resource
Extract the .zip file into your resources directory. Place the sonoranradio and sonoranradio_updatehelper into a folder labeled [sonoranradio]
In your server.cfg file, add the following:
It is very important that the sonoranradio_updatehelper resource is not started manually. Doing so may cause a server crash if updates are available due to a race condition.
DO NOT start the whole [sonoranradio] folder as that will also start the sonoranradio_updatehelper which might cause crashing if started manually.
Example of what NOT to do: ensure [sonoranradio]
