Step-by-step instructions for installing the terminal:
1. Copy and then "paste" the MT4/MT5 installation program from your computer to the server's desktop.
Note: Copy the installation program (not the terminal folder or terminal.exe!) and copy it to the desktop (not to any folder on the desktop).
2. Right-click on it and select "Run as client (UAC)".
3. If a window for entering the administrator password appears, click "no" in it.
4. If you are installing a single terminal or terminals from different brokers, simply follow the on-screen instructions. Usually, there is no need to change anything, just click "Next".
4.1 If you are installing a second copy of the terminal from the same broker: 1) First, save (rename) the existing shortcut on the desktop for launching the already installed terminal. 2) Before starting the installation, click the "Settings" button and specify a new folder name to avoid overwriting the existing installation:
For example, if the first terminal is installed in "C:\\Users\\Uxxxx\\AppData\\Roaming\\Metatrader - Alpari limited", you can install the second copy in "C:\\Users\\Uxxxx\\AppData\\Roaming\\Metatrader - Alpari limited 2" by simply adding a digit to the end of the default path (it is recommended NOT to use Russian letters in folder names).
Important: Do not attempt to install the terminal in C:\\program files\\xxx, C:\\program files (x86)\\xxx, C:\\ProgramData\\xxx , and other system paths! The only places where you can install terminals are C:\\Users\\Uxxxx\\AppData\\Roaming\\terminal-name or C:\\Users\\Uxxxx\\Desktop\\terminal-name (replace Uxxxx with your username). Attempting to install in other directories will result in an "Access Denied" error.
5. After the first run, MetaTrader will create its "Data Directory", where you can install necessary advisors, indicators, scripts, and other additions for MT4/MT5. Switch the language of the installed terminal to Russian in the "View" menu -> "Language".
6. Important: Be sure to set up auto-start for the installed terminal.
7. Alternative installation option by copying the terminal:
1. Install the required MT4/MT5 terminal on your computer (!) in a separate folder, for example, C:\\MT4;
2. Copy the folder (right-click on the folder - "copy");
3. "Paste" the folder on the server's desktop (!) (right-click on free space on the desktop - "Paste");
4. The copied terminal is ready to use. For convenience, you can create a shortcut for terminal.exe on the desktop, add it to auto-start, etc.
