## 📦 Installation

### 📋 Prerequisites

Before installing Elena Chat, make sure you have:

* ✅ FiveM Server (latest)
* ✅ oxmysql resource
* ✅ MySQL/MariaDB Database

### 🔽 Step 1: Download

After purchasing on Tebex, download the resource from your **Keymaster** or **Tebex account**.

### 📁 Step 2: Extract

Extract the downloaded `elena_chat.zip` to your server's `resources` folder:

```
your-server/
└── resources/
    └── [chat]/
        └── elena_chat/
```

### 🗄️ Step 3: Database

The database table will be **created automatically** on first start.

### ⚙️ Step 4: server.cfg

Add these lines to your `server.cfg`:

```cfg
set resources_useSystemChat false
ensure oxmysql
ensure elena_chat
```

> ⚠️ **Important:** `set resources_useSystemChat false` MUST be added or you'll have two chats!

### 🔐 Step 5: Admin Permissions

Add admin permissions in your `server.cfg`:

```cfg
add_ace group.admin command allow
add_principal identifier.license:YOUR_LICENSE_HERE group.admin
```

### ✅ Step 6: Start Server
