Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux
The **Ledger Live App** for desktop provides the most robust environment for **Secure Crypto Management**. Always verify the URL and ensure you are using the **Official Download** link provided by Ledger. Downloading from a third-party source poses a critical security risk to your **Digital Assets**. The desktop version is ideal for initial **Setup** and large-scale portfolio management of **Bitcoin** and **Ethereum**.
Mobile: iOS & Android
For on-the-go **Secure Crypto Management**, the **Ledger Live App** is available via the **Official** Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Ensure the publisher is *Ledger* to confirm the **Official Download** and protect your **Cold Storage**.
Verification is Key
After your **Download**, the **Ledger Live App** performs an integrity check of your **Hardware Wallet** during the **Setup** phase. This genuine check verifies that your device has not been tampered with and is running the correct **Official** Ledger firmware, a foundational element of your **Device Security** strategy for **Bitcoin** and all **Digital Assets**.
Never search for "Ledger Live download" on generic sites. **Official** Ledger sources are mandatory for preventing malware and ensuring the integrity of your **Secure Crypto Management** environment. Complete the **Download** step carefully before proceeding to **Setup**.
Step 2: **Setup** Your **Hardware Wallet** with **Ledger Live App**
The initial **Setup** is the most critical phase for establishing irreversible **Device Security** and enabling **Cold Storage** for your **Digital Assets**. The **Ledger Live App** will guide you through this process with clear instructions.
Initial **PIN** Creation
The **Hardware Wallet** requires you to set an 4- to 8-digit **PIN** directly on the device screen—never on your computer. This **PIN** is your daily access code. The **Ledger Live App** will prompt you, but all input remains physically isolated on the device, ensuring superior **Device Security** against keyloggers.
The **Recovery Phrase** (24 Words)
This is the key to your **Cold Storage**. Your Ledger **Hardware Wallet** will display 24 words—your **Recovery Phrase**. The **Ledger Live App** will instruct you to carefully write these words down offline. This phrase can restore your **Bitcoin**, **Ethereum**, and all **Digital Assets** if your device is lost or destroyed. Keep it secret, keep it safe, and never digitize it.
Firmware Update & Verification
The **Ledger Live App** ensures your **Hardware Wallet** is running the latest **Official** firmware. This crucial update process is managed via the **App** and verifies the cryptographic integrity of the software on your device. This constant verification maintains your state-of-the-art **Device Security**.
Installing Crypto Apps
Through **Ledger Live**, you **Download** and install specific crypto applications (e.g., for **Bitcoin**, **Ethereum**, Solana) onto your **Hardware Wallet**. These apps are necessary for the **App** to communicate with the respective blockchains, enabling you to begin your journey of **Secure Crypto Management**.
By diligently following the **Setup** steps within the **Ledger Live App**, you move your **Digital Assets** into true **Cold Storage**, protected by the **Official** security measures of your **Hardware Wallet**.
