Secure your cryptocurrency assets with Ledger Live, the official companion app for your Ledger hardware wallet. Manage your crypto portfolio with confidence, knowing your private keys remain safely stored on your device.
Follow these verified steps to ensure you're downloading the authentic Ledger Live application
Always download Ledger Live exclusively from the official Ledger website at ledger.com. Never download from third-party app stores, forums, or email links. Scammers frequently create fake websites with similar URLs to distribute malicious software. Check the URL carefully and ensure the connection is secure (https://). Bookmark the official site to avoid phishing attempts.
Ledger Live is available for Windows (7+), macOS (10.10+), Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+, Fedora 32+), iOS (13+), and Android (8.1+). Select the correct version for your operating system. Desktop versions offer full functionality including firmware updates, while mobile versions provide convenient portfolio management on-the-go. Ensure your device meets minimum system requirements for optimal performance.
Click the download button and save the installer to your computer. For enhanced security, verify the SHA-256 checksum of the downloaded file against the official checksum published on Ledger's website. This verification step ensures the file hasn't been tampered with during download. Advanced users can also verify the digital signature using GPG. Wait for the complete download before proceeding to installation.
Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions. On Windows, you may see a security warning—this is normal for new software. Grant necessary permissions when prompted. The installation process is straightforward and typically completes within minutes. Once installed, launch Ledger Live and complete the initial setup. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to begin managing your crypto assets securely.
Ledger will NEVER ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. No legitimate Ledger employee, support agent, or software will request this information. Keep your recovery phrase offline, written on paper, and stored securely. Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can steal all your funds.
