Due to my private change from Win to Linux I'm just wondering if anybody has some experience with MC and Wine with Mono for Framework 4 on Linux. I guess there is no plan to produce something for Linux. Would be too bad to work with one extra computer just for Windows and MC.
Thank you.
Mike

Re: Multicharts on Linux
Hi Mike,
I tried it with Debian Lenny and Wine a while back, but I couldn't get it to work. I don't think you will be able to make it work with Wine, but it should work using a virtual machine.
Although I must admit I haven't tried it.

Re: Multicharts on Linux
I'm aware of the VM-solution and I guess it is at least faster than the Wine-solution. Will have to try it out, but I'm working on Wine first. Got installer running and Framework accepted. But at some point MC install process gets interrupted. Trying to figure out why and where.
Are there any thoughts or ideas from MC department to develop something for Linux ? I think Win is on the run down and Linux more and more appreciated. Heart a lot of rumours that some other tradesoft dev's are on the run for something in Linux.
Keep you updated in the Wine solution.

Re: Multicharts on Linux
I abandoned Win many years ago and most everything has a great solution on Linux, except trading software. Have to run MC in a XP VM. It is a shame especially since those critical requirements for financial trading such as stability, reliability and security are provided in Linux at a much higher level than in Win.
Really hope MC can provide a Linux version soon.

Re: Multicharts on Linux
For a while , i tried to run MC on wine (debian). With self compiled wine and lot of additions from winetricks. But it did not work. The *.net implementation does not fit requeiments of MC.
Of course it would be nice tu run MC on linux. I guess it would be possible what MC linux package comes with its own wine package, already testen on debian/redhat/ or suse.
This would be actually a new part of market. Huge trading-houses would use MC on there big linux mainframes.

Re: Multicharts on Linux
Since Microsoft announced that the future will be Linux – will there be a Multichart version for Linux and will it be part of the lifetime license Member or will the new Multicharts Linux version be an extra purchase license?

Great question. Did you get any response?

Re: Multicharts on Linux
Dear Users,
MultiCharts is a Windows application, there is no Linux version. MultiCharts works on Windows 10 and 11.
You can run MultiCharts on Windows and connect to it remotely using other OS (for example, via TeamViewer).
Adding Linux as a supported OS is not on our roadmap at the moment.
