How to Run MT4 in Linux?

Still related with my previous post which is about forex quotes and charts. In this short article I will share with you about installing Metatrader 4 in Linux Ubuntu. Luckily, without any further tricks, I can install MT4 easily in my Ubuntu box. Let’s start!

  • O/S: Ubuntu Linux 7.04 a.k.a Feisty Fawn
  • Wine Version: 0.9.33
  • Metatrader 4: Get here

Tutorial Details:

  • First, from a valid windows installation, copy over all the fonts into your wine installation. If you prefer using command line, here we goes the command:

$cp /windows/Fonts/* /home/yourhostname/.wine/c/windows/fonts/

  • Copy 2 needed DLL files from your valid windows installation. The DLL files begin with mfc4* . So using command line:

$cp /windows/system32/mfc4* /home/yourhostname/.wine/c/windows/system32/

  • Install MT4.

$wine mt4setup.exe

If you now still struggling wondering how to install MT4 on Linux, I hope this article useful for you. Here we go, my screenshot on EUR/USD pairs. Anyway…. happy trading!

Note:

  1. Except installing wine, all of this steps using regular user privilege.
  2. Change “yourhostname” in the command line with your current user name.
