Before we get started, you should note that steps may vary depending on your chosen distribution of Linux; Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian are a few examples of these. This guide will still prove helpful as most distributions of Linux generally follow these steps.

Installing MT4

Search for Wine and install it.
Download MT4.
Run the MT4 installation file.
Follow the on-screen prompts to install MT4.
Launch MT4 and it should open with Wine automatically.

Now you are ready to use MT4 with your Linux system.

Installing MT5

Get MT5 for Linux

Open the Software Center.
Search for Wine and install.
Download MT5.
Run the MT5 installation file.

Launch MT5 and it should open with Wine automatically.

Important

If your distribution of Linux is still having issues launching MT4 or MT5 after following these steps, we highly recommend installing PlayOnLinux from the Software Center as well; it will help your Linux to launch the platform.

Note that depending on your Linux distribution, the Software Center may have a different name – in Fedora it is simply called “Software”, for example. There are also alternative Windows emulators to Wine which you might have installed already; PlayOnLinux, CrossOver, and PlayOnMac are 3 alternatives you can use in this guide instead.
