MetaMask can be installed as an extension in your web browser or downloaded on smartphones (iPhone and Android) as an app. You'll need Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Brave, or Microsoft Edge to use it in a browser. To get started, head to the MetaMask download page.

For this explainer, Chrome will be used as the browser. If you're using Firefox, the steps to download and install are very similar. Once installed, MetaMask works the same regardless of the browser.

Once on the download page, click "Install MetaMask for Chrome" (or your browser of choice.)

A new tab should open that directs you to the Chrome Web Store. There will be an option in the upper right-hand corner to install MetaMask. Click "Add to Chrome".

Now, you will click "Create a Wallet." If you already have a wallet select the "Import wallet" option.

If you have MetaMask downloaded on your phone, then you can use the "Import wallet" to integrate the wallet between your computer and phone. You can do the same thing if you want to use Metamask on multiple browsers on different computers.
