12### Or use homebrew (macOS only) 18## Servers
19Ferdi adds the option to change your Ferdi server. By default, this will be `https://api.franzinfra.com` - the official Franz server. This allows Ferdi to stay compatible with your current Franz account.
13 20
14`$ brew cask install franz` 21If you want to experience all Ferdi features, you may want to use a custom [ferdi-server](https://github.com/vantezzen/ferdi-server). ferdi-server allows you to use Premium features without restrictions and adds the ability to package and add additional recipes. You can also import your existing Franz account into your ferdi-server to start right where you left off.
15 22
16(Don't know homebrew? [brew.sh](https://brew.sh/)) 23More information on how to set up a ferdi-server can be found at <https://github.com/vantezzen/ferdi-server/blob/master/README.md>.
