MT5 Arch Linux Installer

One-script installer for MetaTrader 5 on Arch Linux using Wine.

Handles the common pain points automatically:

  • Installs wine-staging and winetricks
  • Configures an isolated Wine prefix with Windows 10 mode
  • Fixes the "a debugger has been found" error via nocrashdialog
  • Installs Microsoft Edge WebView2 (required for MT5's UI)
  • Fixes DPI so the MT5 interface isn't cut off on 1080p displays
  • Creates a launcher script and desktop entry

Requirements

  • Arch Linux (or Arch-based distro)
  • [multilib] enabled in /etc/pacman.conf
  • Internet connection

Usage

git clone https://github.com/CianDonlan/mt5-arch.git
cd mt5-arch
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

After install, launch MT5 with:

~/launch-mt5.sh

Or search MetaTrader 5 in your application launcher.

Notes

  • A fresh Wine prefix is created at ~/.wine-mt5, separate from your default ~/.wine
  • If you have a HiDPI display (e.g. 4K), you may want to adjust the DPI value in the script
  • Tested on Arch Linux with Wine Staging 11.4
