Introduction
This section contains all critical preparation steps required before using any Ambitions Studio resource.
⚠️ Important Notice
This documentation is intended for setting up a local development environment only.
It is not designed for setting up a game server, VPS, or live production machine.
If you're working on a dedicated server for development purposes, that’s fine — but note that:
This guide does not cover production security practices
You are responsible for configuring your OS, firewall, network, and database security correctly
Please do not use this documentation as-is to host a public live server.
Why this section matters
Before you interact with the Ambitions Framework or any of our scripts, it is essential to configure your environment properly.
Failing to follow these setup steps could lead to:
Unresolvable connection issues
Script execution errors
Misconfigured database or permissions
Performance bottlenecks
We strongly recommend that every developer reads and applies each guide in this section before proceeding.
⚠️ For beginners
If you're unfamiliar with development tools, databases, or server setup, don’t worry — this documentation will guide you as clearly as possible.
However, if you encounter issues or feel lost, we strongly suggest asking someone with basic technical experience to assist you during the initial setup.
It will save you time and prevent unnecessary frustration.
⚠️ For experienced developers
If you're already comfortable with setting up local environments, managing databases, configuring OneSync, and running a FiveM server in a clean, modern and production-ready way, you can skip this section at your own risk.
Otherwise, we highly recommend completing it to avoid critical misconfigurations later.
