Ledger.com/Start — Quick Start Guide

Secure setup steps, essential checklist, and troubleshooting to help you begin with Ledger hardware and Ledger Live.

Searching for Ledger.com/Start usually means you want the official onboarding steps: how to unbox a Ledger device, install Ledger Live, create a PIN, and safely store your recovery phrase. Below are concise, security-first instructions.

Before you begin

  • Obtain a sealed, authentic Ledger device from an authorized seller.
  • Download Ledger Live only from ledger.com or official app stores.
  • Prepare a secure, offline place to write your 24-word recovery phrase—never save it digitally.

Setup and access basics

Open Ledger Live, connect and unlock your hardware device with the device PIN, then follow in-app instructions. Ledger Live uses the physical device to sign transactions—private keys never leave the device. If any page or prompt requests your recovery phrase online, close it immediately.

Troubleshooting

If Ledger Live does not detect your device, try a different USB cable or port, unlock the device before launching the app, reboot the machine, and ensure firmware and app are up to date via official channels.
