# MetaTrader 5 for linux system
A simple package that uses [wine](https://www.winehq.org), [rpyc](https://github.com/tomerfiliba-org/rpyc) and a Python Windows version to allow using [MetaTrader5](https://pypi.org/project/MetaTrader5) on Linux.
## Install
1. Install [Wine](https://wiki.winehq.org/Download).
2. Install [Python for Windows](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) on Linux with the help of Wine.
3. Find the path to `python.exe`.
- Mine is installed on `/home/user/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Local Settings/Application Data/Programs/Python/Python39`.
4. Install [mt5](https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/integration/python_metatrader5) library on your **Windows** Python version.
```
pip install MetaTrader5
pip install --upgrade MetaTrader5
```
5. Install this package on both **Windows** and **Linux** Python versions:
```
pip install mt5linux
```
## How To Use
Follow the steps:
1. Open MetaTrader5.
2. On **Windows** side, start the server on a terminal:
```
python -m mt5linux <path/to/python.exe>
```
3. On **Linux** side, make your scripts/notebooks as you did with MetaTrader5:
```python
# import the package
from mt5linux import MetaTrader5
# connecto to the server
mt5 = MetaTrader5(
# host = 'localhost' (default)
# port = 18812 (default)
)
# use as you learned from: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/integration/python_metatrader5/
mt5.initialize()
mt5.terminal_info()
mt5.copy_rates_from_pos('GOOG',mt5.TIMEFRAME_M1,0,1000)
# ...
# don't forget to shutdown
mt5.shutdown()
```
4. Be happy!
On step 2 you can provide the port, host, executable, etc... just type `python -m mt5linux --help`.
