# Submodule Configuration

## Install the Resource

If you have not already, [install the base FiveM resource](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/in-game-integration/fivem-installation).

## Activating a Submodule

The [FiveM resource](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/in-game-integration/fivem-installation) contains multiple "submodules" for each integration. These can be individually enabled/disabled and configured.

{% endcontent-ref %}

This example uses the `postals` submodule.

### 1. Configure and Enable the Submodule

* Navigate to the `\sonorancad\configuration` folder and locate the configuration file for your desired submodule.
  * For this example we will be using the `postals_config.dist` file (name depends on the submodule ). More details are on the [specific submodule page](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/in-game-integration/fivem-installation/available-plugins). 
* **Enable** the submodule by changing the `enabled` variable from `false` to `true` in the plugin config.

### 2. Rename and Save

* **Rename** and remove the `.dist` from the file to `postals_config.lua` (depending on name of plugin).
  * If you've downloaded the [pre-configured FiveM resource from the admin panel](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/in-game-integration/fivem-installation), this has already been done for you.
* **Save** the configuration file.
