Where to download and install Interactive Brokers (IBKR) Trader Workstation?

pamac search --aur ib-tws
ib-tws  1:10.29.1h-1                                                                                                                                                                                                                     AUR
    Electronic trading platform from discount brokerage firm Interactive Brokers (IBKR)

Build and install from the AUR with:

pamac build ib-tws

You will likely find this easier to manage. However, keep in mind that the AUR is officially unsupported in either Arch or Manjaro. The AUR will need to be enabled in pamac if it isn’t already.


I also found the Interactive Brokers download page for the Linux version of their app (likely the version you have):

The site states:

…so, either way, It seems the updating is easily manageable.

@Nachlese (in the next post) suggests installing it under ~/.local/ and this is likely a wise choice.

I hope this helps. Cheers.
