# Dependencies

> Required and optional dependencies for ML Radio

Category: RADIO · Source: https://miciomods.it/docs/ml-radio-dependencies · Last updated: 2026-07-28

## Required

- [ml_bridge](https://miciomods.it): Framework, inventory, target, notification and dispatch abstraction. All player and item operations run through it.
- [ox_lib](https://github.com/communityox/ox_lib): Callbacks, zones, keybinds, DUI rendering for antenna status displays.
- [oxmysql](https://github.com/communityox/oxmysql): Persistence for radio data, placed antennas, jammers and stereos.
- [pma-voice](https://github.com/AvarianKnight/pma-voice): Voice transport. Radio channels, the secondary monitor channel and push-to-talk all run through pma-voice.

## Framework

**QBox**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure qbx_core
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure pma-voice
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_radio
```

**QBCore**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure qb-core
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure pma-voice
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_radio
```

**ESX**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure es_extended
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure pma-voice
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_radio
```

> **INFO:** Auto Detection
>
> `ml_bridge` detects your framework automatically. No manual setup.

## Optional

### Audio Streaming

- [xsound](https://github.com/Xogy/xsound): Powers broadcast stations, autoplay playlists, speaker zones and boombox audio. Without it the voice radio still works fully; only streamed music is disabled. Set `Config.Broadcast.streamingProvider = 'none'` to run without it silently.

### Target System

- ox_target / qb-target: Antennas, jammers, stations and stereos show context options when a target resource is detected via `ml_bridge`. Without one, interactions fall back to a keypress prompt.

### Progression

- ml_skills: Optional gate on antenna hacking (`Config.Antenna.hack.requireSkill`) and ready-made XP hook examples in `open/server.lua`. The script runs unchanged without it.
