Step one: downloading and verifying the official installer
Step one has one acceptance criterion: the installer file’s SHA-512 hash must match the value on the official release notes page before the file is executed. Nothing less counts as step one complete.
Finding the correct official download page
Type the official Ledger website URL directly into the browser address bar. Not a search result, not a link from any message. Type it manually, verify the domain character by character, confirm the connection is HTTPS before proceeding.
The real page loads without pop-ups, without requests for wallet information before the download starts. If the page behaves differently, close it and start over. The official website links exclusively to downloads hosted on its own infrastructure: any redirect to a third-party domain during download is a strong indicator of a compromised page.
Selecting the right version for your system
Windows 10 and 11 on 64-bit: use the Windows installer. macOS from 10.14 onward: use the macOS version. File size around 80 to 120 MB depending on the platform.
For mobile: iOS through the App Store, Android through the Play Store. Verify the developer account is Ledger SAS before installing. Do not install from APK files.
Step two can begin immediately after step one installation completes. The only delay that matters is allowing the installer to finish fully before connecting the hardware device. Connecting the device before installation completes may trigger USB enumeration before the driver is ready on Windows, causing a detection failure.
Running the installer safely
Before running the installer, compare the file hash against the SHA-512 checksum published on the official release page. Windows: PowerShell, Get-FileHash. macOS: Terminal, shasum command. Matching hashes confirm the file is unmodified.
Run the confirmed installer, follow the standard dialog for the platform. On macOS, move the app to Applications before launching and approve the Gatekeeper prompt on first open. After installation, check the version in Settings and install any available update before connecting hardware.
Step one acceptance criterion met: hash confirmed, installer running · source official · hash matches · installation proceeding
Step two: device pairing and first hardware login confirmation
Step one is complete. Step two begins with the physical hardware device. Step two requires only the installed application and the hardware device: the machine that ran the installer is not relevant to device pairing.
Connecting the hardware wallet for first login
Open the app first. Then connect the device via USB-C using the cable from the box. That order matters: connecting before the app is running sometimes causes detection failures that resolve immediately with the correct sequence.
The app detects the hardware and launches a setup flow for new devices, or loads accounts automatically for previously configured ones.
Funds should only be deposited after both steps are fully confirmed, including recovery phrase backup. Funding before step two is complete puts assets at risk if setup is abandoned before completion.
Device PIN setup and confirmation
For a new device, PIN setup happens on the hardware screen using the physical buttons. The device prompts for entry on its own display, then asks to confirm by entering the PIN a second time.
After PIN confirmation, the device proceeds to recovery phrase generation. Write every word on paper in exact order. The device confirms several words before proceeding: do not skip this step. That phrase is the only recovery path if the device is ever lost or wiped.
Completing the first authenticated session
After initialization, the first authenticated session opens. Device connected, PIN confirmed on hardware, app unlocks and loads the portfolio. For a newly initialized device, the dashboard is empty until accounts are added. The session stays active while the device is connected and unlocked.
Both steps can be completed without internet access for the cryptographic operations: those happen on the device. However, step one requires internet to download the installer, and step two requires internet to sync account balances.
First authenticated session: PIN on hardware · app unlocks · portfolio loads · sync uses internet for balances · crypto on-device
