2. Installation Steps

The installation process is straightforward, but it's vital to follow these steps precisely to ensure a secure setup. Always download the installer directly from the official Trezor website.

• Step 1: Download the Installer
  Navigate to the official Trezor website's support page. Locate the section for the Trezor Bridge installer. Choose the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Always verify the URL is correct before downloading.
• Step 2: Run the Installer
