# Installation

## Step #1 - Drag & Drop

Just Drag & Drop the `qf_skinmenu_v2` folder into your `resouces` folder.

## Step #2 - SQL Installation

{% hint style="info" %}
There’s no need to manually insert any SQL file into your database. Our script automatically handles all necessary database entries on first launch, so you can safely skip this step.
{% endhint %}

## Step #3 - Script start

You can easily start our script using one of the following methods:

1. Type `ensure qf_skinmenu_v2` in your server console or F8 console.\
   This will start or restart the script live on your server.
2. Add `ensure qf_skinmenu_v2` to your `server.cfg` in the appropriate place.\
   This ensures the script launches automatically every time your server starts.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Critical Requirement: Purge Legacy Appearance Resources** You must completely stop and remove `esx_skin`, `skinchanger`, `qb-clothing`, `qb-appearance`, or `illenium-appearance` from your server. Having multiple skin managers active simultaneously will lead to data corruption, database collisions, and client errors.
{% endhint %}

1. **Purge Legacy Scripts:** Stop and remove the older systems from your resource directory.
2. **Dependencies:** The photo studio feature requires `screenshot-basic`. Ensure it is started *before* the skin menu.
3. Add the resource to your `server.cfg`:

   ```cfg
   ensure screenshot-basic
   ensure qf_skinmenu_v2
   ```
