Setting Up MetaMask

Installation

First, you need to install MetaMask. You can add it as an extension to browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Brave. Alternatively, you can download the mobile app from the App Store or Google Play.

Creating an Account

Once installed, open MetaMask and create an account. You will be prompted to create a password. Make sure it is strong and secure. MetaMask will then generate a 12-word seed phrase. Write this down and keep it safe. It is your backup in case you forget your password.
