# First-Time Setup

> Deploy the Splice Portfolio UI and connect it to a wallet provider.

## Prerequisites

Follow the [deployment documentation](https://github.com/canton-network/wallet/blob/main/docs/dapp-building/examples/portfolio/index.md) to run the portfolio.

Before you can use it, you need to add at least one registry. You can do this by adding registries to the configuration file as explained in the [deployment documentation](https://github.com/canton-network/wallet/blob/main/docs/dapp-building/examples/portfolio/index.md), or [in the UI](/sdks-tools/development-tools/splice-portfolio/add-a-registry).

## Connect a Wallet

Once the Splice Portfolio UI is open, click **Connect Wallet** to launch the wallet discovery popup. Select your preferred wallet provider and follow the prompts to connect your wallet to the portfolio.

This guide uses the [Wallet Gateway](/integrations/wallet-gateway/overview) as the wallet to connect to for a local deployment. If you are setting up the Wallet Gateway for the first time, see the [Wallet Gateway Quickstart](/integrations/wallet-gateway/quickstart).

Once connected, you land on the Dashboard by default.
