MT5 is an application not a library.

I've tried to install Mt5 python library on Ubuntu. Error was that this library Windows-only.

I guess that's the same problem with Colab.

Can devs confirm that?

Thanks for your help, I believe you are right I will love to hear from Mql5

Theres a lot of contradicting info in many websites or portals and will like to finally get to the source

Though in your case it wouldn't work anyway.

Python library connects to terminal MT5, and you don't have that terminal in colab.

In my case, i planned to install terminal with Wine and then connect to it with python (using mt5 python library).

After some headache with installation, i decided just to use virtual machine with windows.

I replace "MetaTrader5" with "MetaTrader" and it worked.
