Getting started with Ledger Live

1. Start the Ledger Live application.
2. On the welcome screen, click on Get started.
3. Choose your device, then click Select.
   
   
4. Choose how to set up your device:
   • First time using your device? Choose Set up a new device to generate new private keys and to create new accounts. 
      
   • If your device is already fully set up with a recovery phrase, choose Connect your device and then proceed to Step 3. Security checklist.
     
     Please note: The Ledger Nano X can only connect to the Ledger Live desktop app via USB.
      
   • Have an existing recovery phrase and want to restore it on a new Nano device? Scroll down and select Restore your recovery phrase on a new device to regain access to your existing accounts using your 24-word recovery phrase, also known as a mnemonic seed.
     
     
      
   • If you're already a Ledger Recover subscriber and wish to restore your device, select Restore using Ledger Recover.

First, you'll choose a 4 to 8-digit PIN code that unlocks your device. Then you'll save or restore your 24-word recovery phrase. Your recovery phrase backs up the private keys that manage your crypto assets. It can be used to restore access to your crypto assets in case you lose access to your device.

1. Set up your device by following the steps provided in Ledger Live:
   • To set up as a new device, check the dedicated article for Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano S Plus, or Ledger Nano X.
   • To restore your device from a recovery phrase, check the dedicated article.
2. Once your Ledger hardware wallet is ready, click on Continue in Ledger Live.

Complete the security checklist to verify that you benefit from the optimal level of security.
