Running Athena ​

When you are running the framework you should always ensure you are in the altv-athena-private or the directory which has the Athena Framework source files.

An example of how your terminal should look if you are in the right directory.

Always open a powershell, command prompt, or a terminal to run the commands below.

First Step ​

When you are running Athena, always start off by running a windows instance.

After you run the command below, join the server and create a character.

npm run windows

Second Step ​

When you are done you can hit CTRL + C to close the server.

Third Step ​

When you want to make changes, and do development you can use the dev command.

This only works on your local computer utilizing windows with GTA:V installed.

This is considered the FASTEST way to develop with this framework.

Here's what you should do first.

• Edit your altv.toml file where your alt:V installation is located.
• Add debug = true to your configuration.
• Restart your alt:V Client if it was running already.

After, you can run the server command below.

npm run dev
