The mandatory first step for every new Ledger hardware wallet owner. This official link guides you to the secure **Ledger Live Download** and initiates your setup.
Using the official starting link protects you against phishing and directs you to the secure application necessary to activate your device.
Type the address directly into your browser. This ensures you land on the legitimate site, where you can safely begin the process of setting up your new device.
Select the correct version for your operating system—whether it's the **Ledger Live Desktop** client or the **Ledger Live App** for mobile. The download is the first step toward accessing your **Ledger Live Wallet**.
The **Ledger Live** application will walk you through setting a device PIN and generating your 24-word recovery phrase. This process secures your **Ledger Live Login** by binding access to the physical device.
The **Ledger Live Wallet** is the digital interface that displays your portfolio balance. However, your crypto assets are never *in* the application; they are secured on the blockchain, and your private keys are safely isolated on your hardware device.
You can choose between the robust **Ledger Live Desktop** application for detailed management or the streamlined **Ledger Live App** for mobile convenience. Both versions require the secure connection to your Ledger device for transaction signing.
Never use a search engine to find the **Ledger Live Download** link. Phishing sites often replicate the official design to steal your recovery phrase.
