Ledger.com/Start® | Starting Up Your Device® - Ledger®®

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®

Ledger.com/Start® is the official starting point for setting up your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus. This guide helps you connect your device, download Ledger Live, and create a secure environment for your crypto management.

Step 1: Go to the Official Setup Page

Open your browser and type Ledger.com/Start directly. Avoid third-party links or unofficial sites — this is the only trusted location to download authentic Ledger software.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official app used to manage your Ledger wallet. It’s available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The app allows you to buy, send, receive, and stake crypto safely — all while your private keys remain offline inside your Ledger device.

• Download the Ledger Live app from Ledger.com/Start.
• Install and open it, then choose “Get Started.”
• Select your device: Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus.

Step 3: Initialize Your Device

Connect your Ledger wallet via the provided USB cable. On-screen instructions in Ledger Live will guide you to:

1. Choose “Set up as new device” or “Restore from recovery phrase.”
2. Create a secure PIN directly on your Ledger device.
3. Carefully write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the recovery sheet.
4. Confirm each word on your device screen.

Step 4: Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase is your backup key to all crypto stored on your device. Keep it offline and private. For best practices:

• Never store your recovery phrase online or in digital form.
• Never share it with anyone — even Ledger Support will never ask for it.
• Keep it in a secure, fireproof location.
• Use only official updates and software from Ledger.com.

Step 5: Install Crypto Apps

Once your device is initialized, open Ledger Live and navigate to the “My Ledger” section. You can now install apps for each cryptocurrency you want to manage — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more. After installation, add accounts to view balances and make transactions safely.

Step 6: Manage Your Assets

Ledger Live isn’t just for storage. You can buy, sell, swap, and stake cryptocurrencies directly from the app. Your private keys never leave the device, keeping your funds secure even while interacting with the blockchain and Web3 platforms.
