# Ledger Hardware Wallet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Ledger Nano S hardware wallet offers secure storage of your Solana private
|
|
|
|
|
keys. The Solana Ledger app enables derivation of essentially infinite keys, and
|
|
|
|
|
secure transaction signing.

|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-03-26 10:37:48 -06:00
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
4. Press both buttons to advance past the "Pending Ledger review" screen
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
6. On your computer, run:
|
2020-02-26 11:04:28 -07:00
|
|
|
|
2020-03-31 10:56:06 -06:00
|
|
|
```bash
|
2020-03-21 20:50:09 -06:00
|
|
|
solana-keygen pubkey usb://ledger
|
2020-02-26 11:04:28 -07:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This confirms your Ledger device is connected properly and in the correct state
|
|
|
|
|
to interact with the Solana CLI. The command returns your Ledger's unique
|
2020-03-21 20:50:09 -06:00
|
|
|
*wallet ID*. When you have multiple Nano S devices connected to the same
|
2020-02-26 11:04:28 -07:00
|
|
|
computer, you can use your wallet key to specify which Ledger hardware wallet
|
|
|
|
|
you want to use. Run the same command again, but this time, with its fully
|
|
|
|
|
qualified URL:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-03-31 10:56:06 -06:00
|
|
|
```bash
|
2020-03-21 20:50:09 -06:00
|
|
|
solana-keygen pubkey usb://ledger/<WALLET_ID>
|
2020-02-26 11:04:28 -07:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-03-21 20:50:09 -06:00
|
|
|
where you replace `<WALLET_ID>` with the output of the first command.
|
|
|
|
|
Confirm it prints the same wallet ID as before.
