  1. Purchase a Trezor Device: If you don't already have a Trezor device, purchase one from the official Trezor website or an authorized reseller. Ensure you buy from a reputable source to ensure the authenticity and security of the device.

  2. Unboxing and Connection: Carefully unbox the device, which includes the Trezor device, a USB cable, and other necessary items. Plug the device into your computer using the provided USB cable.

  3. Choose Your Trezor Model: On the "Get Started" page, select your Trezor model. You typically have the option to choose between Trezor One and Trezor Model T.

  4. Download and Install Software: Depending on your operating system, you may need to download and install either the Trezor Bridge (for Windows) or the Trezor Suite (for macOS and Linux). These software applications help manage your Trezor device.

  5. Create a Wallet: You will be prompted to create a new wallet or access an existing one. If you're setting up your Trezor for the first time, choose "Create a New Wallet".

  6. Set Up Your PIN: You will need to set up a PIN code for your Trezor. This PIN is used to unlock the device each time you connect it to your computer.

  7. Write Down Your Recovery Seed: Your Trezor will generate a recovery seed phrase consisting of 24 words. Write down this seed phrase on the provided card or another safe and offline location. This seed phrase is essential for recovering your wallet in case your Trezor is lost or damaged.

  8. Confirm Your Recovery Seed: To ensure you have recorded your recovery seed correctly, you'll be asked to confirm a few words from the list.
