Verifying the Hash and Signature of the Installer
Overview: Verifying the Hash and Signature of the Installer — here are the key points in plain English.
Key takeaway: Download and installation must go through the official channel with a signature check — follow the steps and the risk is low.
Action steps:
- Only download from ledger.com or the official app store.
- Fetch the published SHA-256 hash and signature from the release page.
- Compare the local file hash with the published value.
- Discard the file immediately if the hash does not match.
- Re-download on a trusted network if verification fails.
Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
