A simple package that uses wine, rpyc and a Python Windows version to allow using MetaTrader5 on Linux.

1. Install Wine.

2. Install Python for 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 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

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:

# 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.
