Perhaps you’re visiting this article because you’re strongly interested in applying Fever as your RSS client, or you’ve read our previous review of Fever and Ashes here on MacStories. We understand you may be a little weary of tackling such a project. Installing Fever can admittedly be intimidating for non-geeks, an audience Fever was clearly not intended for. But we have you covered. In ten minutes, you (anyone) can have Fever up and running, provided you’re prepared for the following:
1.) There is no trial of Fever available. It’s $30 with no refunds. Be ready to pay when prompted via Paypal.
2.) We’re suggesting a cheap hosting solution you’ll have to pay monthly for. At minimum, about a dollar a month. You will not need to purchase a domain name.
3.) You’ll need to have a SFTP client available so you can upload Fever to the host. We will use Forklift Beta 2, free to download (Mac only). However, you can use any client you want. You just need to use it once.
4.) These instructions should work as of July 14th, 2010. We can’t promise Fever or the host we choose will change the installation process - if they do we’ll gladly update this article when we can.
If you’re ready to tackle the tedious installation process, then let’s get started.
