# 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

```bash
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

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

```

Expected output:

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

```

## 4. Replace the old AppImage

Single-line version:

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

```

Split-line version:

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

```

## 5. Make it executable

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

```

## 6. Launch Ledger Live

```bash
~/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**.
