Ledger Live Setup: A Simple Guide to Get Started

Getting started with your Ledger hardware wallet begins with a secure and smooth Ledger Live setup. Ledger Live is the official application that connects your Ledger device (like the Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X) to your computer or mobile, allowing you to manage your crypto portfolio in one place.

Step-by-Step Ledger Live Setup

1. Download the Ledger Live App
   Visit the official site at ledger.com/ledger-live and download Ledger Live for your operating system—Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS.
2. Install and Open the App
   Once downloaded, install and launch the Ledger Live application.
3. Connect Your Ledger Device
   Plug in your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X). Choose "Set up a new device" or "Restore from recovery phrase" if you’re recovering an existing wallet.
4. Create a PIN and Backup Your Recovery Phrase
   During the setup, you’ll create a secure PIN and be shown your 24-word recovery phrase. Write this down and store it offline. Never share it.
5. Add Crypto Accounts
   After setup, use Ledger Live to install apps for each cryptocurrency and add accounts to manage assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more.

With the Ledger Live setup complete, you’re ready to buy, sell, stake, and track your crypto—all with top-level security.
