Exness MT5 download for PC: installer and first login

The MT5 installer comes from the official Exness website and downloads without any login. Windows is the standard desktop route; official macOS and Linux packages exist too, and the Web Terminal runs MT5-based accounts in a browser with nothing to install. Below: the install steps, the first login, and how MT5 differs from MT4.

Exness MT5: what the newer MetaTrader adds

MetaTrader 5 is the newer of the two MetaTrader terminals that connect to Exness accounts. Three things separate it from MT4 at a glance:

Timeframes

21 chart timeframes

Against 9 in MT4 — with intermediate steps between the classic ones, so a chart can sit closer to the pace of a given strategy.

Indicators

38 built-in indicators

Against 30 in MT4, before adding any custom ones. Automated trading robots — expert advisors, or EAs — run inside the terminal as well; note that EAs built for MT4 do not transfer.

Depth

Depth of market

A live order book: the list of pending buy and sell orders waiting at price levels near the current one. One of the additions over MT4.

Platform specifications are published by the platform developer and by Exness; they may change with new releases.

Windows PC

MT5 download for PC — three steps on Windows

  1. Get the installer from the official website

    The MT5 for Windows installer is published on the official exness.com — it downloads without logging in, and the same links are listed in the Personal Area. Checking the address bar before downloading keeps look-alike installers out.

  2. Run the installer

    A standard Windows setup: accept, wait, done. The terminal opens when the installation finishes and shows the login window.

  3. Log in with the trading account number

    MT5 signs in with three things: the trading account number, the trading password, and the server name. The account number and server name are shown in the Personal Area; the trading password is set when the account is created and can be reset there.

If the first login fails

  • This is not the email login. The Personal Area signs in with an email and password; MT5 asks for an account number and a server name instead.
  • Wrong server — the server name must exactly match the one shown next to the account in the Personal Area.
  • Password rejected — the trading password is separate from the Personal Area password and can be reset in the Personal Area. The full checklist is in the login guide.

Beyond Windows

MT5 is not Windows-only: macOS, Linux, and the browser

macOS

Official macOS package

An official MT5 package for macOS exists, so a Mac does not need the Windows route. Whether to install it or stay in the browser is a matter of preference.

Linux

Official Linux package

An official MT5 package for Linux exists as well; both the macOS and Linux packages are published by the platform developer.

Any browser

Web Terminal — no install

The Web Terminal runs a full trading session with an MT5-based account in a browser tab — nothing to install, on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Phones & tablets

Exness MT5 on mobile: iOS and Android

The MT5 mobile app is on the App Store and Google Play. It signs in with the same three details as the desktop terminal — account number, trading password, server name — so one MT5 account works on the PC and the phone in parallel.

The Exness Trade app is a second mobile door to the same accounts: it works with MT5-based accounts and covers trading plus account management on the go. The store links, and the direct Android APK published on the official Exness site, are walked through in the Trade app & APK guide.

MT5 or MT4

How MT5 differs from MT4

Before the terminal

An MT5 account comes first

Registration happens once on the official exness.com and creates the Personal Area. Inside it, trading accounts are opened for a specific platform — so the account the installer signs into must be an MT5 account, real or demo. An MT4 account will not log in to the MT5 terminal.

A demo account with virtual funds can be opened on MT5 right after registration, before any deposit — same prices, no money at risk. It is the standard way to test the terminal before a real account is funded.

What works with an MT5 account

MT5 desktop — Windows, macOS, Linux — and MT5 mobile on iOS and Android sign in directly. The Web Terminal and the Exness Trade app work with MT5-based accounts too: same account, different doors.

Trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone.

Quick answers

Exness MT5 download — frequently asked questions

Is the Exness MT5 download free?

Yes. The MT5 installer is published on the official Exness website and downloads without payment or login. Opening the Personal Area and a demo account is also free; money only enters the picture when a real account is funded.

Does Exness MT5 work on macOS or Linux?

Yes — official MT5 packages for macOS and Linux exist, so the desktop terminal is not limited to Windows. The Web Terminal is the no-install alternative: a full trading session with an MT5-based account in a browser tab.

What password does MT5 ask for?

The trading password — set when the trading account is created, and reset in the Personal Area if forgotten. It is separate from the email-and-password login of the Personal Area itself. MT5 also needs the account number and the server name, both shown in the Personal Area.

Can an MT4 account be used in MT5?

No. Trading accounts are opened for a specific platform in the Personal Area. An MT4 account signs in to MT4; to trade in MT5, an MT5 account — real or demo — is opened alongside it in the same Personal Area.

Is there a demo account on MT5?

Yes — with virtual funds and the same market prices as a real account. It can be opened right after registration, before any deposit, and is the standard way to test the terminal.

MT5 starts with the account behind it

Creating the account takes a few minutes on the official Exness website — email and a short questionnaire; identity verification follows in the Personal Area. Open an MT5 account there, and the terminal from this page signs straight into it. Full registration walkthrough →
