# How to Download and Install Trezor Suite Desktop App

> Download and install Trezor Suite, the official desktop app for managing your Trezor wallet on Windows, macOS, Linux, or your web browser.

Trezor Suite is the official application for managing everything on your Trezor hardware wallet. It replaces the older Trezor Wallet web interface and brings a richer, more private experience: built-in coin exchange, portfolio tracking, transaction labeling, Tor integration, and a clean interface designed to make self-custody straightforward. You can run Trezor Suite as a native desktop application or open it directly in your browser — no install required.

## What Trezor Suite Does

Trezor Suite is your all-in-one control center. Once your device is connected and set up, you use Suite to:

* Send and receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other supported assets
* View your portfolio balance and transaction history
* Update device firmware and change security settings
* Enable Tor routing for enhanced network privacy
* Access Shamir Backup configuration (Model T)
* Connect to third-party DeFi apps via WalletConnect

All transaction signing happens on your Trezor device, never in Suite itself — so even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain safe.

## Download Trezor Suite

Always download Trezor Suite from the official source: **[suite.trezor.io](https://suite.trezor.io)**. The page automatically detects your operating system and surfaces the correct installer. Verify the SHA-256 checksum listed on the download page against your downloaded file before installing — Trezor publishes signed checksums alongside every release.

<Note>
  If you prefer to use Trezor Suite in your browser without installing anything, visit [suite.trezor.io/web](https://suite.trezor.io/web). Browser-based use requires **Trezor Bridge** — a small background service that enables your browser to communicate with your Trezor device over USB. Trezor Suite will prompt you to install Bridge automatically if it is not detected. The desktop app does not require Bridge.

## Installation Steps

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Windows">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Download the Windows installer">
        Go to [suite.trezor.io](https://suite.trezor.io) and click **Download for Windows**. The file is an `.exe` installer, typically around 150–200 MB.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify the checksum (recommended)">
        Open PowerShell and run:

        ```powershell theme={null}
        Get-FileHash .\Trezor-Suite-*.exe -Algorithm SHA256
        ```

        Compare the output hash to the value listed on the Trezor Suite download page. They must match exactly.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Run the installer">
        Double-click the `.exe` file. Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt — click **More info** then **Run anyway**. This prompt appears because the app is signed with Trezor's certificate, which Windows flags on first run until usage data accumulates.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Follow the setup wizard">
        Accept the license agreement, choose an install location, and click **Install**. The wizard completes in under a minute.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Launch Trezor Suite">
        Open Trezor Suite from the Start menu or desktop shortcut. The app checks for updates on launch — install any available update before connecting your device.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="macOS">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Download the macOS disk image">
        Go to [suite.trezor.io](https://suite.trezor.io) and click **Download for macOS**. The file downloads as a `.dmg` disk image.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify the checksum (recommended)">
        Open Terminal and run:

        ```bash theme={null}
        shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Trezor-Suite-*.dmg
        ```

        Confirm the hash matches the value published on the Trezor Suite download page.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Mount and install">
        Double-click the `.dmg` file to mount it. Drag the **Trezor Suite** icon into your **Applications** folder.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Allow the app to run">
        On first launch, macOS Gatekeeper may block the app. Open **System Settings → Privacy & Security**, scroll to the security section, and click **Open Anyway** next to the Trezor Suite entry.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Launch Trezor Suite">
        Open Trezor Suite from your Applications folder or Spotlight. Allow any update to install before connecting your device.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Linux">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Download the AppImage">
        Go to [suite.trezor.io](https://suite.trezor.io) and click **Download for Linux**. Trezor Suite ships as a self-contained `.AppImage` — no package manager or dependency resolution required.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify the checksum (recommended)">
        Open a terminal and run:

        ```bash theme={null}
        sha256sum ~/Downloads/Trezor-Suite-*.AppImage
        ```

        Compare the output to the checksum published on the download page.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Make the file executable">
        In your terminal, run:

        ```bash theme={null}
        chmod +x ~/Downloads/Trezor-Suite-*.AppImage
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Install udev rules">
        Trezor devices require a udev rule so Linux grants your user account USB access without needing root. Download and install the official rule:

        ```bash theme={null}
        sudo curl -L https://data.trezor.io/udev/51-trezor.rules -o /etc/udev/rules.d/51-trezor.rules
        sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
        sudo udevadm trigger
        ```

        Then add your user to the `plugdev` group:

        ```bash theme={null}
        sudo usermod -aG plugdev $USER
        ```

        Log out and back in for the group change to take effect.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Launch Trezor Suite">
        Double-click the AppImage in your file manager, or run it directly from the terminal:

        ```bash theme={null}
        ./Trezor-Suite-*.AppImage
        ```
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## First Launch and Connecting Your Device

When Trezor Suite opens for the first time, it walks you through a short onboarding flow. Select your device model when prompted, then connect your Trezor using the included USB cable. Suite detects the device within a few seconds and begins the firmware installation process if you are setting up a new device.

<Tip>
  Keep Trezor Suite updated. Firmware and Suite updates frequently contain security improvements. Suite notifies you automatically whenever a new version is available — always install updates promptly.
</Tip>

Once your device is connected and firmware is installed, proceed to [Create Your Wallet](/setup/create-wallet) to generate your recovery seed and set your PIN.
