# 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.

## Use Ledger Device with Solana CLI
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-03-26 10:37:48 -06:00
|
|
|
1. Ensure the Ledger Live application is closed
|
|
|
|
|
2. Plug your Ledger device into your computer's USB port
|
|
|
|
|
3. Enter your pin and start the Solana app on the Ledger device
|
|
|
|
|
4. On your computer, run:
|
2020-02-26 11:04:28 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
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:
|

|
|

|
|
```text
|
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.
