  3. Download the installer and verify checksums if provided.
  4. Install, open Ledger Live and follow the setup wizard.
  5. Pair your Ledger hardware device and confirm app installations on-device.

Safety checklist

  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase.
  • Verify installer signatures or checksums if provided.
  • Keep firmware and Ledger Live updated.
