Is it necessary to install any software before starting the setup process at Trezor.io/Start?

It depends on your operating system and browser. Trezor.io/Start utilizes web-based setup and interaction with your Trezor device. However, you might need to install Trezor Bridge, which acts as a communication bridge between your Trezor device and your web browser.

Trezor Bridge is typically required for Windows and macOS users, while Linux users might not need it.

Here are the general steps:

1. Windows: If you're using Windows, you'll likely need to install Trezor Bridge. Once you connect your Trezor device and navigate to Trezor.io/Start, the website will prompt you to download and install Trezor Bridge if it's not already installed on your system.

2. macOS: Similarly, macOS users may also need to install Trezor Bridge. The setup process is similar to Windows.

3. Linux: Linux users might not require Trezor Bridge, as the device can sometimes communicate directly with the browser without the need for additional software. However, this can depend on your specific distribution and setup.

Once Trezor Bridge (if required) is installed, you can proceed with the setup process by visiting Trezor.io/Start in your web browser and following the on-screen instructions.

Always make sure to download software from official sources to avoid potential security risks. You can download Trezor Bridge directly from the official Trezor website to ensure its authenticity and security.
