Ledger Live: High-Contrast Setup Guide

Core Desktop Installation Steps

Welcome! Begin your journey by securing your assets. Follow these non-sequential, core actions necessary for preparing the application environment.

• Acquisition:

  Obtain the latest Ledger Live installer file ONLY from the official ledger.com site. Verifying the source is your first defense against phishing and malware.

• Device Connection:

  Plug your Ledger hardware wallet into a USB port. On first use, follow the device's on-screen prompts to set your PIN and record your recovery phrase.

• The Ledger Manager:

  Navigate to the 'Manager' section within the desktop app. This area allows you to update the device firmware and install the specific cryptocurrency apps you plan to use.

• Add an Account:

  Once an app (like 'Bitcoin') is installed on your device, use the 'Accounts' section in Ledger Live to add a corresponding account. The Ledger device must be unlocked and the app opened to complete this step.
