What Is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web interface for Trezor hardware wallets. It allows you to manage your coins, update firmware, install apps, create hidden wallets, and much more—all in a secure and intuitive layout.
Part 1: Installing Trezor Suite
Step 1: Go to the Official Setup Page
Open a browser and type in trezor.io/start
.
This is the official onboarding page for Trezor users. Select your device (Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T) to continue.
Step 2: Download Trezor Suite
Once you've selected your device, you’ll be prompted to download the Trezor Suite desktop app.
Choose the correct version for your operating system:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
Click “Download” and wait for the file to finish.
Step 3: Install the App
Once downloaded:
- On Windows: Open the
.exe
installer and follow the setup wizard. - On macOS: Open the
.dmg
file, drag Trezor Suite to your Applications folder. - On Linux: Use the AppImage or follow the terminal-based installation instructions provided by Trezor.
After installing, launch the Trezor Suite app.
Part 2: Connecting and Setting Up Your Device
Step 4: Plug in Your Trezor
Use the USB cable that came with your device to connect your Trezor to your computer.
Trezor Suite will detect the device and prompt you to continue.
Step 5: Install Firmware (If Necessary)
Brand-new devices ship without firmware.
You will be prompted to install the latest official firmware.
Click “Install” and wait for the process to complete. Don’t disconnect your device during this step.
Part 3: Creating and Managing a Wallet
Step 6: Create a New Wallet
After installing the firmware, choose “Create a New Wallet.”
If you already have a wallet and recovery seed, you can select “Recover Wallet.”
Step 7: Backup Your Recovery Seed
Your device will now generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed.
This is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Write the words down on the recovery card provided in the box.
Do not take a photo or store it online.
Once confirmed, continue to the next step.
Step 8: Set a PIN Code
You’ll now set up a PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized access.
Use a secure combination and avoid common patterns (like 1234 or 0000).
Part 4: Using Trezor Suite
Once setup is complete, you’ll be taken to the main dashboard of Trezor Suite.
