# ⋄ Setting Up a Wallet

## <mark style="color:blue;">Setting Up a Wallet</mark>

To interact with zkMarkets, you'll need a Web3 wallet. Here's a guide to install our prefered wallet - Metamask:

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide is for a PC using Chrome. On Android or IOs you need to install the Metamask app first and then the steps should be the same.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 1. **Install MetaMask**

1. Get a supported browser.\*
2. Visit [https://metamask.io/download/](https://t.co/M3aw1rGyCZ)
3. Click “Install MetaMask for Chrome”. You will be directed to the Chrome Web Store.
4. Click the “Add to *Browser\**” button or the “Get” button if using Edge.
5. On the pop up, click “Add extension” and wait till it is installed.

Once you install MetaMask for chrome it should automatically open. If not, simply click the addons (jigsaw) icon in the top-right of the screen and you will find MetaMask there. Hit the pin icon to make it easily accessible.

\*The instructions here are for chrome but are similar for other browsers.

#### Step 2. **Create a new wallet (keep your recovery phrase safe)**

1. Open MetaMask.
2. Agree to the Terms of use.
3. Select Create a new wallet.
4. Click on “I agree” if you want to send anonymized click and pageview events to MetaMask or “No Thanks” if you don’t.
5. Create a local password for the device you are using.
6. Secure your wallet by writing down your Secret Recovery Phrase (seed phrase) somewhere safe.
7. Confirm your Secret Recovery Phrase.

#### Step 3. Buy ETH or any other supported tokens.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zkmarkets.gitbook.io/zkmarkets/getting-started/setting-up-a-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
