Before getting Ledger Wallet, keep four checks clear: source, device, system, and record. This guide keeps the download task simple. It helps the reader confirm the page source before installation and then use the Ledger device screen and application prompt for the first basic check after installation.
What to check before downloading
First, check the entry source. The browser page, page name, download button, and operating-system platform should match. Ledger Live has increasingly appeared under the Ledger Wallet name in current materials, so older references may use both names. Use the current page display and device-side prompt as the working reference.
Second, check the platform. Desktop users should separate Windows, macOS, and Linux. Mobile users should separate iOS and Android. A platform overview is available in Ledger Wallet download and installation guide.
Install in a fixed order
- Save the download page and version information for later reference.
- Read the system permission prompt before continuing.
- Connect the Ledger device only after the application is installed and opened.
- Use the device screen as the final place to review device-side prompts.
If a desktop installation prompt needs more context, compare it with Ledger Wallet desktop download guide.
Check after installation
After installation, open the application and confirm that it can recognize the device. Do not jump directly into account setup if the application entry, connection method, or device screen is unclear. Record the system, application version, connection method, and device-screen state.
When the application is not recognized
If the device is not recognized after installation, check the cable or Bluetooth state, system permission, app version, and device unlock state. Treat this as a connection and environment check first. That keeps the download task separate from later account, firmware, or support workflows.
