How to download Trezor Suite
Follow these steps to obtain the official Trezor Suite installer for your platform. The steps below use the canonical source as the single trusted root: Trezor.io/start. When in doubt, type the URL manually or navigate from a bookmarked page rather than clicking links from emails or search results to avoid phishing sites.
Open your browser and manually type Trezor.io/start into the address bar. This page will display verified download links for Suite and guide you through supported platforms.
Choose the correct installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux. For Linux, AppImage or distribution-specific packages (DEB/RPM) may be provided. Do not download Suite from third-party software aggregators.
Save the file and note its download location. Before running, check official checksums or signatures if provided (see verification section below).
Install Suite and open it. Connect your Trezor device and confirm any prompts shown on the device screen. Suite will guide you through initialization or firmware updates, if needed.
Verifying the installer
Whenever possible, verify the digital signature or checksum of the downloaded installer. This step ensures the file has not been tampered with between the official server and your computer.
- Obtain the official checksum or signature from the same official site (do not copy from forums).
- Use a checksum tool (sha256sum, shasum) or signature verification utility to compare the downloaded file’s hash against the published hash.
- For PGP-signed releases, verify the PGP signature using the vendor’s verified public key.
Platform-specific notes
Windows: Run the .exe and allow permissions when prompted. Use an administrator account only if necessary. If Windows flags a unidentified publisher, double-check the download source.
macOS: Mount the DMG or run the PKG installer. You may need to allow installation from identified developers in System Preferences. Avoid bypassing Gatekeeper warnings without verifying the source.
Linux: AppImage can run without installation; make it executable and run. For DEB/RPM, use your package manager and prefer official repository instructions when provided.
Security checklist (p de ab)
- Download only from Trezor.io/start or an official, bookmarked source.
- Verify checksums/signatures when available.
- Run installers on a clean, updated machine.
- Never enter your recovery seed during installation; seed generation happens on-device.
- Keep backups in offline, physically secure locations.
Following these steps reduces the chance of installing malicious or tampered software and keeps your hardware wallet workflow secure.
Why verification matters and a short threat model
The largest single risk during software installation is a man-in-the-middle tamper of the installer or a phishing site that mimics the official page. An attacker who can modify installers on the network or a compromised CDN can inject backdoors that look legitimate. Verifying checksums and signatures binds the file on your disk to the legitimate file published by the vendor; it ensures integrity and reduces the chance of persistent compromise. Your personal threat model — whether you're protecting small holdings or significant assets — determines how strictly you apply these steps. For high-value holdings, combine verification with air-gapped machines for sensitive operations and consider multisignature setups.
Post-install actions
After installing Suite, do not rush through device initialization. If you are setting up a new Trezor, follow the device prompts to generate the recovery seed on-device and write it down offline. If Suite recommends a firmware update, confirm authenticity on the device. Configure a PIN, consider an optional passphrase if you understand recovery implications, and label your accounts for clarity. Periodically check for Suite updates and apply them after verifying installer authenticity.
