Installing the Electrum-Ravencoin wallet

Download the Electrum-Ravencoin wallet to manage your Ravencoin with a ledger device.

When setting up the Electrum-Ravencoin wallet for the first time follow these steps:

You will need to connect your ledger device to your computer, unlock it, and enter the Ravencoin app before proceeding.
Ensure ledger-live is closed and open Electrum-Ravencoin.
On the first screen, you’ll be presented with a text box that has the name of the wallet file that will be created on your computer. It will have a name of default_wallet. You can either rename this or leave it as is and click next.
On the second screen, you’ll be presented with three options: Standard wallet, Multi-signature wallet, and Import Ravencoin addresses or private keys. Choose the Standard Wallet option and click next.
On the third screen you’ll see four options: Create a new seed, I already have a seed, Use a master key, and Use a hardware device. Select Use a Hardware Device and click Next.
The program will scan to see if a hardware device is available. If so, you should see the option to select an unnamed ledger [ledger, initialized]. Click next.
You will be asked to choose the type of address in your wallet, there is only one option so you can leave that alone. In the text box below it will show the correct derivation path. Click next.
The next screen will ask if you want to encrypt the wallet file. This file contains metadata and a master public key to watch the addresses you manage using the application. Private keys are never shared with the application or computer and remain on the device. If you encrypt the wallet file, you will need to have the device connected and the Ravencoin app open to use the wallet. If you don’t encrypt the wallet file, you’ll be able to open it without the device but the device will still be required when you send coins or verify a receiving address.
The wallet is now set up.

When using the Electrum-Ravencoin wallet after initial setup:

If you encrypted your wallet file, you’ll need to connect your Ledger device and open the Ravencoin app.
In the Electrum-Ravencoin wallet select the wallet file you want to open and click next.
The wallet will open and you can send and receive RVN.

Using the Electrum-Ravencoin wallet
