  2. Navigate to the "Downloads" section or go directly to the Trezor Bridge page
  3. Select the version compatible with your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
  4. Download the installation file to your computer
  5. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions
  6. Restart your browser after installation completes

Note: Trezor Bridge typically installs automatically when you first connect your Trezor device or when you access the Trezor Wallet interface. However, manual installation may be necessary in some cases.
