Modern traders have a choice of trading platforms: web, mobile, or desktop. Still, many of them prefer to have the platform on their computers. MacOS comes with various nuances, and it may not be that clear how to install MetaTrader 5 in your system. So here’s what you need to do.
As you may already know, there are several ways to install MetaTrader 5 on macOS. Luckily, they constantly upgrade the system, making the process of installation easier. Let’s have a look at the most straightforward way.
Install MT5 in a few clicks
MetaTrader 5 is an application just like any other. That’s why the installation is similar, and maybe you have done it before.
Go to the Trading Platforms section on the FBS website. That’s where you will find the MT5 file you need.
Click on the “Download” button. The DMG file will download automatically.
Double-click on the file you have downloaded to open it.
Follow the instructions to install the application.
Wait for it to install and appear on the Applications bar.
You are ready to use MetaTrader 5.
Before you start trading, you may need to tune the platform to your needs.
It’s not working. Why?
If you use macOS Catalina or an older OS version, you may face an issue when installing MetaTrader 5. The older system cannot verify the file developer and doesn’t allow the app to be installed. Don’t worry, there is a very simple solution.
If you experience a problem like this, you just need to open the DMG file you have downloaded — not by double-clicking on it, but via the context menu. It usually helps to solve the matter and install MetaTrader 5 on macOS.
