MT5 on your machine (Live)

MetaTrader 5 on your Windows PC or VPS is for running the delivered tool and optional Live evidence — not for cloud Pack compilation.

Pack builds run on RNME-managed workers. You only need local MT5 after a ready Pack if you want to install the tool or enable Live.

When you need this

  • You already have a ready Pack in My Tools
  • You want to install `.ex5` / `.mq5` into your terminal
  • You want Connector certification for Live ($49/mo)

Steps

1. Install MetaTrader 5 from your broker or MetaQuotes.

2. Confirm MetaEditor is available if you will inspect source locally.

3. Install the delivered Pack files into the correct `MQL5` folders (see Pack guide).

4. Optionally install the RNME Connector for Live telemetry.

Not required for

  • Connecting Claude / Cursor / Codex
  • Approving a Build Summary
  • Paying Build Pass and receiving a Pack
