# Metamask Setup

## Dowloading and Installing

MetaMask can be downloaded as a browser extension on any compatible browser. Just go to <https://metamask.io/download/> and select the browser you are using. It is also possible to install it on IOS and Android.

## Creating Account

1. Click on the "Create a Wallet" button
2. Create a password. This will be used when logging in to MetaMask in the same browser.
3. View your secret seed phrase and write it down on a secure location.
4. Select each phrase in order and click "Confirm".

{% endhint %}

{% endhint %}
