How do I get it?

To install Fedora Frog run these commands in terminal [Applications -> Ststem Tools -> Terminal ]

wget -c http://easylinux.info/uploads/frog.tar.gz
tar zxvf frog.tar.gz -C ~

To run Fedora Frog run:

su -c "yum update" -

and enter the root password when prompted. BTW, this is "recommended".
