🔐 How to Set Up Your Ledger® Hardware Wallet (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

✅ What You’ll Need:

  • A Ledger® device (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax)
  • A computer or smartphone with internet access
  • The included USB cable
  • A pen and the recovery sheet (comes in the box)

⚙️ Step 1: Visit Ledger.com/start

Begin by connecting your Ledger device to your computer or phone using the USB cable. Open your browser and go to ledger.com/start

. From there, download and install the official Ledger Live app.

Ledger Live is the official software used to set up and manage your Ledger device securely. Once installed, open the app and select "Get Started."

🔑 Step 2: Set Up Your Device

Follow the instructions in Ledger Live to initialize your device:

  1. Choose “Set up as new device.”
  2. Select a secure PIN code on your Ledger device.
  3. Your Ledger will display a 24-word recovery phrase.

Important:

  • Write down the 24 words on the provided recovery sheet in exact order.
  • Never save this phrase digitally or share it with anyone.
  • This is your only backup to recover your wallet if your device is lost or reset.

After confirming your recovery phrase, your wallet is ready. You can now install crypto apps and start receiving, sending, or managing your assets securely.
