To begin, download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. Ensure that you are downloading the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android).
Once installed, open Ledger Live and connect your Ledger hardware wallet using a USB cable. The application will detect your device and prompt you to unlock it with your PIN code.
Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize Ledger Live. You will need to set a password for the app and optionally enable Ledger’s secure cloud backup. This ensures your wallet information is safe in case of device loss.
After setting up Ledger Live, open the application and enter your password. If your device is connected, Ledger Live will automatically synchronize with your hardware wallet.
