- Update packages and install the Oracle JDK of Java 8 using a special PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ts.sch.gr/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
- Download the installer from here
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://mediaserver.thinkorswim.com/installer/InstFiles/thinkorswim_installer.sh
- Run the installer from an elevated shell:
sudo sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh
-
When you are going through the wizard, change the path to
/usr/local/bin/thinkorswim
. -
The installer should start the application for you. The TOS small box will pop up and say that it is installing updates. This will take about 5 minutes. Then you should get login screen after a while.
-
When it’s time to shutdown and start from scratch use:
sudo ./thinkorswim
Hello,
Thank you for your work here.
I was able to get the application to work but ran into a few issues.
after I logged out of the program I was able to start the program without running the installer again.
can you please help?
I am running ubuntu 18.04
I am also having difficulties installing a desktop icon or having something show up in the applications of ubuntu.
Thanks in advance
