Hello.
I'm having trouble opening MT5 on Linux, more precisely on the Debian GNU/Linux system. Yesterday I updated Wine Staging and installed another application, but I can't access the platform.
I get the following error message:
"A debugger has been found running in your system. Please, unload it from memory and restart your programme."
I've already reinstalled MT5, reinstalled wine-staging 2.0.0 jessie, wine-staging-amd64 2.0.0 jessie; wine-staging-386:i386 2.0.0 jessie; winehq-staging 2.0.0 jessie via Synaptic.
Remember that the problem occurred after updating the MT5 platform.
I'm not happy about this. Large international companies making applications available for Linux, whether in .deb, .rpm or .sh or .txz format.
A company of this size should know that Linux is more secure than Windows, so it should make and encourage the use of the platform on Linux, BSD and MasOS. Installing via Wine is a trifle, a workaround.
The best thing would be to install it on the machine as a native application. There's Metatrader for Android, which is Linux in .apk format, why not have it in other formats?
It would also be good to invest more in the mobile platform, because the Android app doesn't have all the settings of the PC.
Thank you.
Absolutely! I also find it very useful to have a .deb file for Linux. MetaQuotes is doing its part, the GNU/Linux community is doing ours.
It should also be remembered that the use of Wine on Linux opens up a gateway to possible Windows viruses, regardless of the use of MT5.
Latest wine version (1.8) requires winhttp library in order to run mt5setup.exe. Otherwise proxy settings dialoag box appears.
To solve this, download winetricks (latest version) and run:
winetricks winhttp
I was having the same problem with ubuntun xenial but winetricks winhttp did not work for me.
My work around was the following
1) installing latest stable version of wine with 32bit architecture
2) Install metatrader 5
cd /tmp
wget https://download.mql5.com/cdn/web/metaquotes.software.corp/mt5/mt5setup.exe

Why didn't you send the Linux version?
Still there.
The 64-bit version swears at debugger, though the vyne is native.

This has been fixed and will be available in next week's release. It will be possible to install it normally on 64-bit Linux & MacOS from the installer.
We will release the beta on MetaQuotes-Demo tonight.

Oh, good news, we are waiting!

That's good news. Thank you.
You can make a separate 64-bit installer or just a portable.zip archive. Otherwise you'll have to put a 32-bit gasket on a clean 64-bit system just because of the installer, do you understand how wrong it is?
By the way, if you are really enthusiasts of speed and unmanaged, the combination of 64-bit version on wine + linux speed is just about the right thing.
Although it would be better to have at least native MT5 libraries for algo-trading under. linux -> MT5 server. That would be "fire" and definitely out of competition.
Nowadays charts on QT5 are not long to make with event bars (ranges, renko), which are not available in MT for some reason and to make on ticks apparently will not be possible (correct me if I'm wrong)?
Can you comment on a trader's dream? :)
Maybe I am not the only one who is interested in this and thank you for the possible answer. :)
Good luck with your business.
