Manage your device with ledgerctl

Installation

1. Install ledgerctl

Run:

pip3 install --upgrade protobuf setuptools ecdsa
pip3 install ledgerwallet

And:

git clone https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledgerctl.git
pip3 install --upgrade protobuf setuptools ecdsa
cd ledgerctl
pip install -e .

2. Install a custom certificate authority (optional)

Optionally, install a custom certificate authority (this will help to establish a custom secure channel between the computer and the device, and identifies ledgerctl as a "trusted manager" on the device):

• a. To install a custom CA, boot the device in "Recovery" mode by pressing the right button at boot time.
• b. Then run ledgerctl install-ca <NAME> where <NAME> is the name that will be displayed on the device to identify the CA. It can be any label, like "ledgerctl", "Dev", or "CA".

The Ledger device will display to you a public key. Allow the “unsafe manager” on the device by pressing at the time the right and left buttons.

Usage

You’re now ready to use ledgerctl to manage your Nano.
