The Multi Installer in the Daedalus Starter Kit project now supports Fatdog. This is the easiest way for newcomers from Puppy to install Fatdog.

Thank you @rcrsn51.

In addition to what @pup2023 wrote, a lick installer can also be found inside the Fatdog64 ISO together with an HTML readme file that provides guidance specific to Fatdog64. Find the installer and the HTML readme by clicking the fatdog ISO file to mount it then click the "lick" folder.

If you have an existing Linux OS on a UEFI system w/ GPT partition table, a manual frugal is very easy.

• extract the iso

• move the extracted folder to the partition you want it on

• add a menuentry to /boot/grub/custom.cfg

*here is a template for the menuentry

menuentry "Fatdog64-901" {
        insmod ext2
        insmod part_gpt
        search --set=root --fs-uuid 338ce9ba-3a43-4bdc-82e0-7b7a4f8f6c2f
        linux /Fatdog64-901/vmlinuz rootfstype=ramfs
        initrd /Fatdog64-901/initrd
}

find your UUID by entering blkid in terminal, replace the UUID with your UUID, replace <Fatdog64-901> 3 times if the name of the folder on your frugal partition is something different. consider additional paramaters for kernel command line.
