Ledger Live Update (Linux Mint) Quick Guide

1. Download into the same folder

• ledger-live-desktop-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage

• ledger-live-desktop-*.sha512sum

• ledger-live-desktop-*.sha512sum.sig

• ledgerlive.pem

2. Verify Ledger's signature

openssl dgst -sha256 -verify ledgerlive.pem \
-signature ledger-live-desktop-*.sha512sum.sig \
ledger-live-desktop-*.sha512sum

Expected output:

Verified OK

3. Verify the Linux AppImage

grep "linux-x86_64.AppImage" ledger-live-desktop-*.sha512sum | sha512sum -c

ledger-live-desktop-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage: OK

4. Replace the old AppImage

Single-line version:

mv ledger-live-desktop-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage ~/AppImages/ledger-live.AppImage

Split-line version:

mv ledger-live-desktop-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage \
~/AppImages/ledger-live.AppImage

5. Make it executable

chmod +x ~/AppImages/ledger-live.AppImage

6. Launch Ledger Live

~/AppImages/ledger-live.AppImage

Notes

• The * wildcard means you don't need to edit the version number for each release.

• The wildcard works as long as there is only one Ledger Live download in your Downloads folder.

• If older versions are still present, remove them first or specify the version explicitly.

• When splitting a command across two lines, the backslash (\) must be the final character on the first line, with no spaces after it.
