Introduction Installing Trezor Bridge is the first step toward managing your crypto with a hardware wallet on desktop. This guide walks you through each platform—Windows, macOS, and Linux—covering prerequisites, troubleshooting tips, and verifying installation integrity.
Visit the official Trezor website at https://trezor.io/bridge and select your OS. Always confirm you’re on the genuine domain (look for HTTPS and correct certificate). Download sizes range between 10–15 MB.
Run the Installer: Double-click trezor-bridge-setup.exe.
User Account Control: Approve the UAC prompt to grant admin privileges.
Installation Wizard: Accept License Agreement, choose install path (default is fine), and click “Install.”
Finish: On completion, Bridge will auto-start and sit in the system tray.
Troubleshooting Windows
Driver Issues: If your system lacks necessary USB drivers, Bridge will prompt to install them. Accept and reboot.
Firewall Blocks: Ensure that your Windows Firewall or third-party antivirus isn’t blocking trezord.exe.
Open DMG: Double-click the .dmg file to mount it.
Drag and Drop: Move the Trezor Bridge app into your Applications folder.
Security Approval: On first launch, macOS may block the unsigned app. Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General and click “Open Anyway.”
Grant Permissions: Bridge will request permission to act as a driver—approve the prompt.
Troubleshooting macOS
Certificate Warnings: If you see a “developer cannot be verified” alert, click “Show in Finder,” then open from there.
USB Access: Mojave and later require user confirmation for USB device access under System Preferences → Security.
Most distributions provide a .tar.gz package:
Extract: tar -xzf trezor-bridge-linux.tar.gz
Install: Run sudo ./install.sh.
Enable Service: The script will set up a systemd service named trezord.
Start: sudo systemctl start trezord and sudo systemctl enable trezord.
