Complete Setup Guide

Step 1: Download & Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion software for your Ledger hardware wallet. It allows you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, install apps, and perform secure transactions. Download only from the official Ledger website to ensure you receive authentic, unmodified software.

Installation Requirements:

  • Windows 10 or macOS 10.14+ or Ubuntu 16.04+
  • At least 4GB RAM and 2GB free storage
  • USB port for hardware wallet connection
  • Stable internet connection for setup

Step 2: Initialize Your Ledger Device

When you first connect your Ledger device, you'll be prompted to set it up. This process creates your unique cryptographic keys and establishes the security foundation for all your cryptocurrency holdings.

✅ Do This:

  • • Choose "Set up as new device"
  • • Create a strong 4-8 digit PIN
  • • Write down your recovery phrase immediately
  • • Verify your recovery phrase
  • • Store recovery sheets in separate secure locations

❌ Never Do This:

  • • Share your recovery phrase with anyone
  • • Store it digitally or take photos
  • • Use a recovery phrase from unknown sources
  • • Skip writing down the recovery phrase
  • • Use the device if packaging was tampered with

Step 3: Install Cryptocurrency Apps

Your Ledger device can store multiple cryptocurrency apps simultaneously. Each app is required to manage that specific cryptocurrency. The device has limited storage, but you can install and uninstall apps as needed without affecting your actual cryptocurrency holdings.

Popular Cryptocurrency Apps:

Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
Cardano (ADA)
