Installing Leveler

Installation of MongoDB

For Leveler, you will need MongoDB. To install MongoDB for your OS, please refer to one of next manuals:

• Linux
  • Red Hat
  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • SUSE
  • Amazon
• macOS
• Windows

Note: Red had its own MongoDB config driver. Leveler is not related to this config driver, and works directly with MongoDB.

SciPy

This is not required, but to use auto-color feature, you need to install scipy.

2. Install SciPy: python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose
3. Restart your bot
