What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the companion application used with Ledger devices. It allows users to manage crypto assets, install apps for different blockchains, track portfolios, and send or receive digital currencies. Ledger Live works together with your hardware wallet, meaning private keys never leave the device.

Steps to Get Started

1. Unbox Your Ledger Device

Ensure the box is sealed and untampered. Ledger devices do not come with pre-written recovery phrases. If one is included, do not use the device.

2. Download Ledger Live

Visit the official setup page and download Ledger Live for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Install the application before connecting your device.

3. Connect Your Device

Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device. Follow the on-screen instructions in Ledger Live.

4. Set Up as a New Device

Create a PIN code and write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup of your wallet. Store it securely offline.

5. Install Apps and Add Accounts

Use Ledger Live to install cryptocurrency apps on your device and create accounts to start receiving digital assets.
