# Set up txAdmin for FiveM on CentrixNodes Game Panel
> Step-by-step guide to install and configure txAdmin for your FiveM server on the CentrixNodes game panel, including recipe setup and admin access.
## Step 1: Start Your FiveM Server
When you start your FiveM server for the first time, txAdmin will automatically initialize. Look for the console output that displays important information.
In the console, you'll see a message that says **"All ready! Please access:"**
You'll also see a **PIN code** displayed below with the text **"Use the PIN below to register:"**
Make sure to note down the PIN code - you'll need it in the next step to set up your master account.
## Step 2: Access the txAdmin Panel
Copy the url that includes the ip address displayed in your console and paste it into your web browser.
## Step 3: Configure Your Server Name
After accessing the txAdmin panel, you'll be prompted to set up your server configuration. Choose a short, memorable server name that will be used in the txAdmin interface and Chat/Discord messages (e.g., `tutorial`, `examplerp`, `dev`).
## Step 4: Choose Your Deployment Type
Next, you'll need to select how you want to set up your server. txAdmin offers several deployment options:
### Popular Recipes (Recommended)
This is the easiest option for beginners. Select a template from a curated list of community favorites. This includes QBCore, ESX, and a Default template for you to customize.
Choose **Popular Recipes** if you're new to FiveM server setup or want a quick start with a pre-configured framework.
### Other Deployment Options:
* **Existing Server Data**: Select an existing server data folder on the host. Only use this if you already have a `server.cfg` and a `resources` folder.
* **Remote URL Template**: Based on a Recipe URL in the YAML format. You'll have the option to edit the Recipe before running it.
* **Custom Template**: Recommended if you have a custom recipe-based server or if you are writing your own recipe. You will be asked for the recipe right after this page.
For most users, **Popular Recipes** is the recommended choice as it provides tested and working server configurations.
## Step 5: Review Recipe
After selecting your deployment type, you'll be presented with the recipe configuration. This shows you the YAML configuration that will be used to set up your server.
The recipe includes:
* **Engine version** (e.g., `$engine: 3`)
* **Server name** and description
* **Tasks** that will be executed (downloading resources, configuring files, etc.)
* **Source repository** information (where resources will be downloaded from)
You can review the recipe and make any changes if needed. However, for most users, the default configuration works perfectly.
Simply click **Next** to proceed with the default recipe configuration. The recipe is pre-configured to work out of the box.
## Step 6: Enter Server Registration Key
Now you need to enter your FiveM Server Registration Key (formerly known as License Key). This key is required to run a FiveM server.
The key can be obtained from the [Cfx.re Portal](https://portal.cfx.re/). Enter your registration key in the field provided.
If you don't have a registration key yet, visit the Cfx.re Portal to create one. For more information, check the guide: [How to create a registration key](https://docs.fivem.net/docs/server-manual/setting-up-a-server/#license-key-registration).
Once you've entered your key, click **Run Recipe** to proceed with the server setup.
## Step 7: Configure server.cfg
After the recipe runs, you'll be presented with the `server.cfg` file editor. This is your server's main configuration file where you can customize various settings.
If you're using a game panel, make sure to check your assigned port on the game panel and update the `endpoint_add_tcp` and `endpoint_add_udp` settings in the server.cfg to match your correct game port.
Click **Save & Run Server** to start your FiveM server.
***
**Congratulations!** If you've followed all the steps correctly, your FiveM server should now be up and running. You can access your txAdmin panel to manage your server, view players, and configure additional settings. Everything should be good to go!
