LLedger Live
After installation, open Ledger Live and connect your compatible Ledger hardware wallet when instructed. Follow the on-screen setup process carefully.
A legitimate installation should never require you to disclose your Secret Recovery Phrase to a website or another person. If an unexpected page asks for your recovery phrase to activate, synchronize, unlock, or verify your wallet, do not provide it.
