# Installing PolkaGate Snap

To install PolkaGate Snap, you need to have MetaMask installed first. Then, visit the official MetaMask Snap directory at [snaps.metamask.io](https://snaps.metamask.io/snap/npm/polkagate/snap/), which is also linked on polkagate.xyz. Click "Add to MetaMask" to add it.\ <br>
