How to Install MT4 & MT5 on LInux: Ubuntu and Debian

Here is how you can begin trading with your linux computer by downloading and installing Metatrader 4 or 5. Unfortunately, Metaquotes has not developed any Linux version of MT4 or MT5. For this to work, I am going to show you how you can install the same MT4 or MT5 for Microsoft Windows OS on Linux, that is Ubuntu and DEbian systems.

How do you run windows apps on LInux?

Well it’s possible by installing a compatibility layer that allows application software developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. A good example of this is a sofware called WINE.

How does Wine work?

Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.
