Get Started with Trezor in Minutes

This colorful, human-friendly guide walks you through downloading Trezor Suite, connecting and initializing your hardware wallet, safely backing up your recovery seed, and making your first verified transaction — all while keeping your private keys offline where they belong.

Download Trezor Suite View Setup Steps

Safety first: No legitimate app or support agent will ever ask for your 12/24-word recovery seed. If you see such a request, stop — it’s a scam.

1) Download & Install Trezor Suite

Windows

Grab the 64-bit installer from the official site. If SmartScreen prompts, confirm the trusted publisher. After installation, open Suite from the Start Menu and allow automatic updates.

Get Windows

macOS

Download the universal app (Apple Silicon & Intel). If macOS blocks the app, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and allow it to run, then move it to Applications.

Get macOS

Linux

Use the AppImage or your distro package. Add udev rules for USB access, log out/in, then launch Suite. Verify hashes when provided.

Get Linux

Always use the official trezor.io/start path or bookmarked links. Avoid search-ad lookalikes and third-party mirrors.

2) Device Setup: New or Restore

Set Up as New

Connect the device via the original cable and open Suite. Choose Set up new wallet, then create a strong PIN. Confirm actions on the device screen — that’s the trusted display.

Backup: Write down the 12/24-word recovery seed shown on the device. Store it offline and never take photos or screenshots.

Restore from Seed

Select Recover wallet. Enter recovery words on the device itself (not your keyboard). After restoration, verify balances by adding accounts for each network (e.g., BTC, ETH).

Optional: Enable a passphrase (the “25th word”) for a hidden wallet — powerful but unforgiving if forgotten.

Finish setup by adding accounts, labeling them (e.g., Savings, Spending), and running a tiny test transaction. Verify the address and amount on the device before approving.

3) Security Best Practices

On-device verification: Trust the device screen. If Suite and device differ, cancel.
Seed hygiene: Keep backups offline; consider a fire/water-resistant metal plate.
Updates: Install firmware and Suite updates only through official flows; don’t unplug mid-update.
USB discipline: Prefer a direct motherboard port during first setup; avoid flaky hubs.

Yes. Network and partner fees may apply when you transact or swap.
