Getting Started with Ledger Live
Install the Ledger Live App
To begin, head to Ledger.com/start. Choose between downloading the Ledger Live Desktop for your computer or the Ledger Live App for your phone. The installation wizard guides you through each step, from accepting terms to confirming device compatibility.
First-Time Launch & Login
On launch, Ledger Live prompts you to either create a new wallet or restore an existing one. At this point, you’ll need to complete the Ledger Login process: it’s quick, secure, and ensures no one but you gains access.
Creating a New Wallet
If you're starting fresh, follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You'll be generating a recovery phrase—treat it like gold. Once that's done, you'll finish up the Ledger Live Login and get full access to your suite of tools.
Restoring an Existing Wallet
If you already have a recovery phrase, choose the restore option during sign-up. After entering your phrase and verifying it, you'll complete the Ledger Login process and be linked to your existing ledger-ready portfolio.
