Click the Download button and save the TWS installation file to a desired location. The remaining instructions assume that you have saved the file to the default Downloads folder. If you have saved it to a different location, replace "Downloads" in the instructions with the appropriate directory/folder.

1. Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T on most distributions) and navigate to the directory where the installer was downloaded:

Copy: cd ~/Downloads

2. Make the installer executable by using: chmod u+x before the filename:

Copy: chmod u+x tws-latest-standalone-linux-x86.sh

3. Run the installer to start the wizard by typing "./" before the file name:

Copy: ./tws-latest-standalone-linux-x86.sh

Click the "Next" button on the Setup Wizard to extract files.

Uncheck the "Run Trader Workstation" checkbox and click the "Finish" button. A TWS icon is installed on your desktop.

Find the TWS icon on your desktop and double-click to launch the Login box.
