In our opinion installing Wine and PlayOnMac software is the fastest and easiest way to run the most popular application for Forex trading in Mac OS. Next, we go through in details how you can install them to your Mac OS.
Wine is free software that allows users of the Unix-based systems to run an application developed for the Microsoft Windows systems. Among all the Wine versions there is one for Mac OS.
Please note that Wine is not a fully stable application. Thus, some functions in the applications you start under it may work improperly or not work at all.
For the installation on Mac OS we recommend to use the free application PlayOnMac. PlayOnMac is Wine-based software for easy installation of Windows applications on Mac OS.
To install PlayOnMac, open the product's official web site, move to Downloads section and click the link for downloading the latest version.
After downloading the DMG package, launch it from Downloads section of your system:
PlayOnMac first launch window will appear. After clicking "Next", the installer will start checking and installing the various components necessary for work.
The first necessary component is XQuartz. This is software for using X Window System on Mac OS. X Window System provides standard tools and protocols for building the graphical user interface in Unix-like OS.
If you have already installed XQuartz or want to install it later, select "Don't install XQuartz for the moment" or "I've downloaded file by myself", respectively.
XQuartz installation is performed in several stages. First of all, you should read the important information (Read Me) and accept the license conditions.
Before the installation, Mac OS security system will ask you to enter your account's password:
Wait for the installation to complete. For changes to take effect, you should restart your Mac.
After restarting the system, launch PlayOnMac again from the setup file in Downloads folder. The first launch window will appear again. This time, the installer will offer to install MS Windows fonts necessary for correct operation.
Accept the license agreement conditions and wait till the installation is complete. After that, PlayOnMac is ready for use. Its main window will appear:
Wine v. 1.4 is installed together with PlayOnMac. Wine 1.4.1 is the latest stable version at the moment. Wine 1.5.21 beta release containing many improvements is also available for download. However, it may be less stable. It is recommended to install the latest version of Wine.
To upgrade Wine to the latest version, open PlayOnMac upper menu and select Manage Wine Versions:
The window with Wine versions available for installation will open. Select the latest version (1.5.21 at the moment).
Move the latest Wine version to the right side of the window. The installation will start.
After the installation is complete, the new version of Wine will appear in the left part of PlayOnMac Wine versions manager window. You can then close the window and install MetaTrader 4 trading terminal.
Here is the download link for SOS FX MetaTrader4 software:http://files.metaquotes.net/6113/mt4/sorosfx4setup.exe
After the download is complete, launch the setup file. PlayOnMac will be used automatically to open it.
The standard terminal installation process with all its stages will start:
When the installation is complete, PlayOnMac will offer you to create the shortcuts for MetaTrader 4 terminal components - the client terminal itself and MetaEditor:
After creating the necessary shortcuts, you can start using MetaTrader 4. Double click on it in PlayOnMac window to launch the terminal.
When logging into MetaTrader 4, you may need to type the server number if you cannot choose the correct SOS FX server by default. Below you can see MetaTrader 4 terminal on Mac OS:
As it was mentioned in the beginning, Wine is not completely stable software. Thus, some functions of the MetaTrader 4 terminal may work improperly. For example the news are not displayed, in case they contain Unicode symbols. However, the News in English are displayed correctly.
Currently, except for the above problem, you can enjoy all the features of MetaTrader 4 on Mac OS.
PlayOnMac creates a separate virtual logical drive with necessary environment for each installed program. The default path of the installed terminal's data folder is as follows:
Library\PlayOnMac\WinePrefix\MetaTrader_4_\Drive C\Program Files\MetaTrader 4
We hope that this document has helped you to install MetaTrader 4 on your Mac OS operating system and you are ready to start trading with SOS FX.

Panduan dibawah ini untuk menginstall MetaTrader4 pada Operating System LINUX/UNIX
Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open source software development and distribution. Linux systems are widely used in smartphones and server hardware. Many home PC users prefer it to MS Windows series, because it is free, secure and easy to upgrade.
In this guide, we will explain how you can install the award-winning MetaTrader 4 platform to your Ubuntu Linux operating system.
One of the Linux features is the absence of a unified distribution kit. Different groups of developers work on several Linux versions including Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Gentoo, etc. In this article we will consider one of the most popular distribution kits - Ubuntu.
Wine is free software that allows users of the Unix-based systems to run an application developed for the Microsoft Windows systems. Among all the Wine versions there is one for Ubuntu.
Note that Wine is not a fully stable application. Thus, some functions in the applications you start under it may work improperly or not work at all.
Preliminary setup should be performed before the installation. All applications are installed on Ubuntu from the packages, which are contained in repositories. The path to WineHQ PPA repository should be added to install Wine. Open Ubuntu Software Center and execute "Software Sources" command in "Edit" menu.
Click "Add" in the new window.
The following data should be specified in АРТ (Advanced Package Tool) line: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa. Click "Add Source". This completes the preliminary setup.
To install Wine, open its official website http://www.winehq.org, go to Downloads section and choose the distribution kit for Ubuntu. Click the appropriate link to install the latest Wine version. Currently, the latest stable version is Wine 1.4.1. You can also download beta version Wine 1.5.21, which has many improvements but may appear less stable. The system will prompt you to open the link via Ubuntu Software Center. Agree to that and the Software Center will prompt to start Wine installation:
Click "Install" and wait for the installation to complete. Once the installation is complete, it will already be possible to run Microsoft Windows executable files in Ubuntu.
You can use command line (which is called "Terminal" in Ubuntu) to install Wine without using Ubuntu GUI.
Execute the following command to add WineHQ PPA repository, from which Wine will be installed:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
After its execution, update APT package data using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Upon its execution, you can start Wine installation. Execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install wine1.5
Wine v. 1.5 will be installed. After the execution, Wine is ready for use.
To start using MetaTrader 4, you should either download and install the installation file or copy the entire folder of the client terminal previously installed in Microsoft Windows system.
The system will automatically determine that you are trying to run a file designed for Microsoft Windows and will offer to open it with Wine. Select this option and click "OK". MetaTrader 4 installer will be launched. Complete all installation steps:
After installation is complete, you can start using MetaTrader 4 by running its terminal.exe file.
Another way to start using MetaTrader 4 in Ubuntu is copying the entire folder of the client terminal previously installed in Microsoft Windows:
After copying is complete, simply run terminal.exe file of MetaTrader 4 terminal. Wine will be used automatically to open the file. The screenshot below shows MetaTrader 4 terminal in Ubuntu system:
We hope that we have been able to present an easy way to run MetaTrader 4 under Ubuntu operating system and you are ready to start trading with SOS FX.
