Download and Install Trezor Suite

Install Trezor Bridge

After installing Trezor Suite, you must install **Trezor Bridge** to enable secure communication between your computer/browser and the hardware wallet. Without Bridge, Trezor Suite cannot detect or interact with your device.

The Trezor.io/start page guides you to download the Bridge. It is a lightweight background service that runs after installation and bridges commands safely.
