Once the install is completed you should be forwarded to a “Welcome” screen, start by clicking “Get Started”.

Your new wallet will have a secret backup phrase. This is for recovering your wallet and must be kept secret. You should write down these words on a piece of paper and store them in a secure location in case of an issue requiring recovery of your wallet.
