About This Hub

Welcome to the official Ledger Getting Started Hub — the verified destination to set up and activate your Ledger device. Follow official instructions to download Ledger Live, initialize your wallet, and protect your recovery phrase safely offline.

1. Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is your all-in-one app for managing crypto, checking balances, and performing secure transactions. Always download from the official source only — ledger.com/start.

• Verify the page URL is exactly ledger.com/start.
• Choose your OS: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.
• Optionally verify file signatures for desktop installers.

2. Activate & Initialize

1. Open Ledger Live and select “Set up new device.”
2. Follow the guided steps to create your PIN directly on your Ledger device.

Ledger ensures your private keys are stored within a secure element — never online, never shared.

3. Security Essentials
