Next, navigate to the Ledger Live app on your computer. If you don’t have it already, you can download it from the Ledger website. Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Ledger Nano S within the app.
Once your device is connected and set up in Ledger Live, you’ll need to install the Ethereum app on your Ledger Nano S.
