Ledger Live allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies, check real-time balances, send and receive assets, and maintain the highest level of security directly from your desktop or mobile device.

To begin, visit Ledger.com/Start, where you’ll find all the resources required to get your device running smoothly. The guide starts by helping you identify your Ledger device—whether it’s the Ledger Nano S Plus or the Ledger Nano X—and ensures that you are using the official Ledger software, eliminating risks associated with counterfeit devices or malicious downloads.

Step 1: Installing Ledger Live
Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. The setup guide provides a direct download link for your platform, along with detailed instructions to install the software safely. Once installed, Ledger Live guides you through initial setup screens, including choosing your preferred language, agreeing to the software’s terms, and connecting your Ledger device.

Step 2: Device Initialization
The guide walks you through the initialization process for a new Ledger device. You will set up a secure PIN code and generate a recovery phrase—a 24-word backup that is essential for restoring your crypto assets in case your device is lost or damaged. Ledger emphasizes the importance of writing this recovery phrase down on the provided recovery sheet and storing it in a secure, private location. This step is crucial for protecting your funds from unauthorized access.

Step 3: Connecting Ledger Live
Once your device is initialized, the guide explains how to connect it to Ledger Live. You will be prompted to unlock your device using the PIN, and Ledger Live will recognize it automatically. From there, you can add accounts for your preferred cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live supports a wide range of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many altcoins, all in one secure application.

Step 4: Managing Your Crypto
Ledger.com/Start also covers the essential functions within Ledger Live, such as sending and receiving assets, checking transaction history, and updating your device firmware. The guide ensures you understand each function’s security implications, helping you navigate crypto management confidently.

Step 5: Staying Secure
Security is at the heart of Ledger’s design. The setup guide reinforces best practices, including avoiding phishing websites, never sharing your recovery phrase, and regularly updating Ledger Live and device firmware. Following these steps ensures your assets remain safe from online threats.

By following the Ledger.com/Start setup guide, you can quickly and safely activate Ledger Live, connect your hardware wallet, and start managing your cryptocurrency with confidence.
