Will not work because u canāt connect the ledger to the cloud server via usbā¦ u will need a local nodeā¦

Installing Vacuumlabs cardano-hw-cli
downloading Vacuumlabs cardano-hw-cliā¦
latest version: 1.2.0
cardano-hw-cli v1.2.0 installed!
Downloading filesā¦
that is what I got when did prereq.sh -w
I see ā¦
U can install virtual box with ubuntu and configure a node localy
yes I need to look into that, I already did, I just need to configure it just like the one in production, and bring it up offline, btw do you have instructions on how to do that?
but u can keep it onlineā¦ after u will generate the hw wallet u will uoload the folder to the live producer and u will sign the transaction
To make it offline, keep the pc disconnected from the internet and download the binary files from live producer
The thing is I am learning as I go, I still donāt have that clear, I mean how can I have a copy of the node offline I mean running but not producing
binary files are the priv directory?
Bassicaly u will need to clone the live producer to offline producerā¦ and u will need to download /opt folder
also the bin files from
cd ${HOME}/.cabal/bin
ls -l
Then u will need to run cntools offlineā¦ itās a little bit hard
basically cloning the opt folder and the $HOME
I have a full install from scratch that I made, now I will clone the OPT and the bin
Yo! I was in the same boat not too long ago.
So you copy the binaries for the cardano-cli (following coincashewās guide, it was in the /usr/local/bin)
If youāre using prereq -w to install the cardano-hw-cli, it should be somewhere, not sure though.
You can copy files over ssh using scp.
Thanks let me see if I can pull it off

What I did was just download the cardano-hw-cli.tar.gz file, transferred both cardano-cli binaries and cardano-hw-cli.tar.gz by USB to local machine, and then installed both on the local machine.
Hope that helps. Planning to work making in a YT video this weekend.
For what I see that will only help me on the local machine where I can connect the HW device to USB, I found all the bins installed.
Thanks I appreciate any help
No problem, you want to manipulate the transaction using your keys on your local machine (should be airgapped w/ no internet access) and then move it to the block producer to submit.
Best of luck!
Hello everyone,
As suggested above, I succesfully added Ledger hw-wallet as pool owner by following the legend @Alexd1985 's instructions.
Create a VM with local node (you have to fiddle a bit to connect the USB through VM), connect Ledger to create stake.hws (canāt remember exact file name, but unique for HW wallet), create the transaction on BP, transfer tx to local node, sign with Ledger, transfer back and submit. Then wait 2 epochs 
Best regards
