    Running MT4 in linux

    This is about programming but this is the most approprite forum.

    Only got MT4 up and running in Ubuntu Linux! I am too paranoid using windows nowadays with the numerous trojans/hackers/backdoors/rootkits and after wasting about 2 hours downloading XP Again (!) Due to AVG which is the most powerful antivirus appliions I eventually got pissed off with it all.

    If anybody wishes to understand heres a fast how-to:

    1. Install wine (sudo apt-get install wine), or install it from your package manager

    2. Copy MFC42.dll from c:\windows\system32 from your windows computer onto /home/(your username)/ /.wine/ /drive_c/ /windows/system32

    3. Pick your MT4 installer from your broker

    4. Open a terminal and type wine mt4installer.exe

    5. Once its set up you can run it anytime by opening a terminal and typing
    Inserted Code #wine /home/(your username)/.wine/ /drive_c/Program Files/(your broker)/terminal.exe
    Don't overlook the inverted commas!

    I suddenly don't have any sound working in MT4. The test from winecfg gives me sound.

    something which does not work here on Wine is push notifiion to mobile phone. Anyone can confirm this?
    I've this problem with mt4 push telling on Ubuntu, anyone can resolve?

    Everything works/installed fine here with these tips but when I attempt to buy or sell something mt4 reconnects to server all the time (I can not trade). Anybody else with this issue?

    This works as above - no need to use a windows VM (unless you want to).
    There are a few advantages to running it into a VM (either as linux or windows) - as it is possible to leave it (or multiple copies) than operating at home and remote desktop to them away from home.

    Hi my friends;

    I am running metatrader on Ubuntu 16.04 and allow me to show how do I install metatrader on Linux.

    First, let's remove any previous version of Wine that might be installed:
    sudo apt-get autoremove wine

    Next enable i386 (32bit) sources: (if arcthitect is 64 bit)

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

    Next include the wine-builds repository:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds

    Currently update apt and install the latest development release of Wine:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

    Hi thanks in my case, it didn't worked for response. I use latest Debian Jessie and had Wine 17.26. The binary behind winhttp isn't supported by Microsoft anymore, so I needed to loaded from archive(no success). After all I followed latest upgrade on WineHQ site and it worked.
