Always compare the published SHA-256 checksum with the file you downloaded before running it, and never install a Rippex build obtained from a mirror, an email attachment or a chat message.

Installation guide

Five steps per platform, from the downloaded file to a wallet with a secret key written down on paper.

Windows

1.Open the downloaded ripple-wallet-win64-1.5.2.exe from your Downloads folder.
2.If SmartScreen appears, choose More info, then Run anyway — the build is unsigned by the publisher list, not unsafe.
3.Accept the terms, keep the default installation folder and click Install.
4.Leave Launch Ripple Desktop Wallet checked and press Finish.
5.On first start choose Create new account, save the encrypted wallet file and write down the secret key on paper.

macOS

1.Open the .dmg and drag Rippex Wallet into the Applications folder.
2.The first launch must be a right-click then Open, so Gatekeeper offers the Open button for a build downloaded outside the App Store.
3.Grant the network access prompt — the wallet only needs it to reach a rippled node.
4.Eject the disk image once the application starts.
5.Create the account, store the wallet file outside the Applications folder, and back up the secret key offline.

Linux

1.Move the file where you keep local applications, for example ~/Apps.
2.Make it executable: chmod +x ripple-wallet-linux-x86_64-1.5.2.AppImage
3.Run it: ./ripple-wallet-linux-x86_64-1.5.2.AppImage — no root, no package manager, nothing installed system-wide.
4.If FUSE is missing, install libfuse2, or extract with --appimage-extract and run the extracted AppRun.
5.Create the account and keep the encrypted wallet file in your home directory, backed up separately from the machine.

Download FAQ

Which file should I download?: Pick the build for your operating system. On Windows and Linux the 64-bit build is correct for every current machine; the 32-bit link exists only for older installations that cannot run 64-bit binaries. On macOS a single package covers both Intel and Apple silicon.
How do I verify the download before running it?: Compare the checksum published next to the release with the one you compute locally: certutil -hashfile file.exe SHA256 on Windows, shasum -a 256 file.dmg on macOS, sha256sum file.AppImage on Linux. If the values differ, delete the file and download it again from this page only.
Why does my system warn me about an unknown developer?: Desktop operating systems flag any application that is not distributed through their own store or signed with a paid publisher certificate. The warning describes the distribution channel, not the contents. Verify the checksum, then allow it explicitly.
Do I need an account or an email address to download?: No. There is no registration, no email confirmation and no licence key. The wallet is non-custodial: your account is created locally on first launch and exists on the public XRP Ledger, not on a server here.
Is my antivirus flagging it a real problem?: Generic heuristic detections are common for Electron applications that write an encrypted file and open network sockets. Confirm the checksum matches the published value; if it does, the binary is exactly the released one and you can add an exception.
What do I need before the wallet becomes usable?: An XRP Ledger account must hold the base reserve to exist on the ledger, so send at least the reserve amount to your new r-address. Until that payment is validated the overview screen reports the account as inactive.
Can I run it from a USB stick or an offline machine?: Yes. The Linux AppImage is portable, and the wallet supports a Cold Wallet mode that signs transactions on a machine with no network connection while a second, online machine submits the signed blob.
Will an old wallet file from an earlier version still open?: Yes. Encrypted wallet files from previous releases open with the same passphrase, and in any case the secret key alone is enough to restore the account in any compatible XRP Ledger client.
How do I update to a newer version?: Download the new build and install it over the old one. Your encrypted wallet file is stored separately and is never touched by an update — but confirm your paper backup of the secret key before updating anything.
