    a. Open the Chrome Web Store. b. Search for "Metamask" in the search bar. c. Click on the "Add to Chrome" button next to the Metamask extension. d. Review the permissions requested by the extension and click "Add extension" to install it.

  2. Wallet Setup: Once the Metamask extension is installed, you'll find the Metamask fox icon located in the top-right corner of your Chrome browser toolbar. Click on the icon to start the setup process.

    a. New Wallet: If you don't have a Metamask wallet, click on "Get Started" and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet. This typically involves setting up a strong password and securely backing up your seed phrase.
