How to Set Up Your Ledger Wallet Step-by-Step

Step 1: Open Ledger.com/start

Type Ledger.com/start in your browser and hit enter. It will redirect you to the secure Ledger Live setup page. Bookmark it to avoid visiting fake or phishing websites.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is your new command center. Choose the version that fits your computer or mobile phone: macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, or iOS.

Step 3: Connect Your Ledger Device

Plug in your Ledger Nano using the USB cable (or use Bluetooth if you’re using the Nano X with your phone). Launch Ledger Live and follow the simple instructions.

Step 4: Set Up or Restore Wallet

Ledger Live will guide you through:

  • Creating a new PIN for your device
  • Writing down your 24-word recovery phrase
  • Confirming the phrase to secure your wallet

Be sure to write those 24 words on the recovery sheet provided—never save them digitally.
