ThinkOrSwim on Ubuntu 18.04

  1. 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
  1. Download the installer from here
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://mediaserver.thinkorswim.com/installer/InstFiles/thinkorswim_installer.sh
  1. Run the installer from an elevated shell:
sudo sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh

  1. When you are going through the wizard, change the path to /usr/local/bin/thinkorswim.

  2. 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.

  3. When it’s time to shutdown and start from scratch use:

sudo ./thinkorswim
@ct987654321
Copy link

nevermind I got it.
I was confused by your use of
sudo ./thinkorswim

for example to start the program scratch you have to do
/usr/local/bin/thinkorswim/thinkorswim if you install it as your path.

Thanks for your work.
