Install Windows inside VirtualBox.... You won't look back...... Assuming your computer can handle it and you can get a windows ISO image.

Because of libgnutls.

You can copy an installed metatrader 4 folder to linux.

I run metatrader 4 on archlinux i686 without problem, (but i have same problem with x64 before, solved by pacman -S lib32-gnutls).

in my expierience this happens to one of 2 types of Metatrader installers. This happened to me with a installer from a specific broker. afterwards I used another one, which worked.
actualy it doesn't matter which installer you use. you can conect to every broker on every MT installation

> use another installer

No. You need to install missing library so metatrader installer can work.
In terminal, copy and pass

wine /path/to/mt4_installer.exe

It will show you the missing version of lib gnutls.
Then you can go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ search and download then install it. (Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu)

Below link may help you:
http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_Common_Problems#Install_32-bit_version_of_p11-kit-trust.so

​Because you use playonlinux, it may differ from wine, so i have no experience here.
But hope it helps

i did

sudo apt-get purge playonlinux
sudo apt-get purge wine
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

i hope this removes any traces of playonlinux or wine from my system, will reboot and install wine from software manager again and check

You need to install winhttp library to support downloading files from HTTPS sites. If you're using winetricks, install by:

Hi thanks for fast reaction, it did not worked in my case. I use latest Debian Jessie and had Wine 17.26. The binary behind winhttp is not supported by Microsoft anymore, so I had to down loaded from archive(no success). After all I followed latest update on WineHQ website and it worked.

Hi my friends;

i am running metatrader on Ubuntu 16.04 and let me 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 add the wine-builds repository:

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

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

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

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

Everything works/installed fine here with these tips but when I try to buy or sell something mt4 reconnects to server all the time (I can't trade). Anyone else with this problem?

I suddenly have no sound working in MT4. The test in winecfg gives me sound.
