If you've already got a MetaMask wallet, skip this step.
Visit MetaMask to download and install their extension.
Once the MetaMask extension is installed, you will notice their Fox icon on your browser’s extension toolbar.
Then you will be automatically redirected to the MetaMask “Get started” page where you need to follow the instructions and complete the setup.
Click on the “Create a Wallet” button.
Read the instructions on the next page carefully, and remember not to share your MetaMask password, ever. Then click on "I agree".
Next, create your MetaMask wallet password.
Make sure not to save this password anywhere online, especially in your browser. Write this down on a piece of paper and store it somewhere safe.
Then on the next page, you will be introduced to the “Secret Recovery Phrase” video guide.
In any case you forgot your password, this Secret Recovery Phrase will be the only way you can access the cryptocurrencies you store in your MetaMask wallet. It is also the only way to recover your MetaMask wallet if you remove it from your browser or reset your device.
Click on the "Next" button to get your Seed Recovery Phrase.
Make sure to store your Seed Recovery Phrase on a piece of paper or somewhere safe, just like how you store your password.
On the next page, you need to confirm your secret recovery phrases by selecting each phrase in order to make sure it is correct.
