# 1. Installing metamask
You need to set up your MetaMask wallet by installing the MetaMask extension for your Chrome browser. Log in to , select the "**Download**" option and click on "**Install MetaMask for Chrome**".
You will be directed to the Chrome web store where you will have to click on "**Add to Chrome**". A pop-up will appear will the "**Add extension**" button; click on that. After that, MetaMask will be installed in the Chrome browser.
For detailed usage after installation, please refer to the Youtube video below or the contents organized by others.

When installing MetaMask, the most important thing is to save the "**Secret Backup Phrase**" well. If someone else knows about it, they can hack the stored POC and cryptocurrency at any time. Never take pictures with online notepads and emails, or mobile phones and upload them to the cloud. If possible, go for the handwritten version on a paper-like notepad and avoid exposing it to others.
Even if the Metamask installed in the Chrome browser is accidentally deleted, you can always restore the created Metamask account as long as there is a "**Secret Backup Phrase**".

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://pa-support.pocketarena.com/how-to-buy-poc-on-pancakeswap/how-to-buy-poc-on-pancakeswap/1.-installing-metamask.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
