  12. Now you need to install your Broker’s MT4 (or other) trading platform. Once you have the VPS’s Web Browser open on your VPS, you need to get the MT4 install file from your broker. This varies from broker to broker. Here are some common ways you may acquire it:
    1. The Broker Website - Login to your Client Area and access the file in the Downloads section.
    2. Account Opening Email - You may have the email from when you opened your account. You could login into your Webmail on the VPS's Web Browser and save the MT4 setup file via a weblink or an attachment on the email.
    3. Use the weblink - You may know the link for the MT4 setup file. You could copy and paste the link into your VPS’s Web Browser address bar.
  13. Once you have the MT4 install file, save it to the desktop of your VPS. You can now install it as you would on your home PC.
