Download Ledger Live — official steps

Download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger website. Choose the correct installer for your operating system and verify the download. Ledger Live is available for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android). On desktop, Ledger Live provides a Manager to install blockchain-specific apps on your device; on mobile, Ledger Live pairs via Bluetooth with Ledger Nano X for convenient on‑the‑go access.

Installation checklist

Visit the official Ledger.com/Start or Ledger.com/ledger-live.
Download the correct package for your OS and follow the installer prompts.
After installation, open Ledger Live and complete initial setup: device connection, firmware checks, and manager authorization.
Never enter your recovery phrase into the app or any website.

Tips for first-time downloads

To avoid spoofed installers, type the Ledger address manually or use a trusted bookmark. Keep your operating system and browser updated. If a download prompt requests unusual permissions, stop and verify the source.
