MetaTrader 4 is a Windows based application, however, it can be installed on Linux Mint 19 and other Linux distributions with the use of software called Wine. Wine aims to reproduce the Windows libraries required to run Windows apps on non-windows platforms. Getting MT4 to run on Linux with Wine is relatively easy, however, the instructions below are for Linux Mint 19.. your mileage may very on other Linux distros, but do check the Execution Platforms forum for more HOWTOs with other distros. Unlike previous versions of Linux Mint, Linux Mint 19's default version of Wine can run MetaTrader 4. In the past we had to add our own source for Wine, but that's no longer needed. Let's start by installing wine. Launch a terminal instance by pressing your home key (or clicking the "LM" menu button on your task bar,) and typing in Terminal. (Or, use the Ctrl+Alt+T desktop shortcut.)
