# Install On MT5

Use this guide for `The Banana Indicator MT5` only.

Shared installer wizard

Newer iTradeAIMS MT5 packages use the **same installer UI** documented on [Confluence suite install](/indicators/confluence/docs/install.md#1-install-the-files). The Banana-specific screenshots below show the same flow; suite installs use the shared PNG ladder there.
