1. Download and Install Ledger Live Desktop

Start by visiting the official Ledger website and downloading Ledger Live Desktop for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Once installed, open the app and connect your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus using a USB cable. Ledger Live automatically detects your device and verifies its authenticity to ensure you’re using a genuine Ledger product.

2. Set Up and Configure Your Wallet

When you launch the app for the first time, you’ll be guided through setting up a secure PIN on your hardware wallet. Ledger Live will then prompt you to write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your backup — keep it offline and never share it with anyone. It’s the only way to recover your assets if your device is lost or replaced.

3. Add Crypto Accounts and Manage Assets

Ledger Live Desktop supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies. Use the “Accounts” tab to add wallets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and hundreds more. Each account syncs with your Ledger device, ensuring that every transaction is verified on the device screen before it’s approved. This end-to-end protection gives you full confidence when sending or receiving funds.

4. Track, Swap, and Grow

With Ledger Live Desktop, you can track your entire crypto portfolio in real time, swap assets, and even stake certain coins to earn rewards — all without ever compromising your private keys. The interface is clean, intuitive, and designed for both beginners and experienced investors.
