# Installation

* Builds are located in the FrogLabs discord (discord.gg/frogwiftools)
* There are no automatic updates (purposely done for security)
* We support windows, macOS, and Linux
* We recommend a machine with a minimum of 8 CPUs
* For macOS Apple Silicon installs you will need to run the following command to let apple know that you wish to install the app: \
  `sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/FrogLabs Terminal.app"` 

### RPC

A rpc (also referred to as a node) is how you connect to the blockchain. 

Here is an analogy to help you understand:

* The **Solana blockchain** = the **Internet**
* The **FLT app** = your **phone or laptop**
* The **RPC node** = the **Wi-Fi router**

You can’t connect to the Internet directly without Wi-Fi — your phone needs a router to send and receive information.

Same thing here:\
Your Solana app can’t talk directly to the blockchain — it needs an **RPC** to send and receive data (transactions, balances, program info, etc.).

* A node is required to use the application
* We work with any node but we **don't** recommend using free nodes or ones that have low rate limits
* <mark style="color:$info;">**Our partner,**</mark> <mark style="color:$info;">**SHYFT, is offering all FrogLabs users a free 48 hour trial, click the "Free Trial" button in the settings tab and open a ticket once you are in the discord**</mark>

### Fee Wallet

#### What is the Fee Wallet?

The fee wallet is a dedicated Solana wallet used to pay transaction fees for various operations within FrogLabs Terminal. It automatically handles fee payments for mixing, warming, tagging, buying, selling, and launching tokens. Fees are displayed in app by clicking on the info icon.

#### Recommended Balance

**If you are an unlicensed user**, we recommend maintaining at least 0.25 - 0.5 SOL in your fee wallet to ensure smooth operation. This should last you for some time. The progress bar shows your current balance relative to this target.

#### How Fees Work

* Fees are automatically deducted from your fee wallet during operations
* If fee wallet has insufficient balance, the operation will fail
* Percentage fees (buy/sell) are calculated based on the transaction amount
* Fixed fees are charged per operation regardless of transaction amount
