Before you start
- Update Ledger Live to the latest version via this link.
- Open Ledger Live and connect your Ledger device to the My Ledger to ensure that your Ledger device is running the latest firmware version.
- Ensure that the latest version of the Cardano (ADA) app is installed on your Ledger device.
- Once you're all done, close Ledger Live as it can conflict with Nami.
