Getting started

First run

The password, the setup code, and what the terminal tells you.

The first time you start Levix, the terminal prints something like this:

  Levix is running   Panel: http://localhost:3001/setup  Data:  ~/.levix   First run — that link asks you to pick a password.  Opening it from another machine also needs this code: 43CB5162   Opening Levix in your browser...   Press Ctrl+C to stop.
  1. On a desktop the browser opens by itself. Otherwise open that address.
  2. Choose a password. Opening the page from a different machine also asks for the setup code above — that's what stops a stranger from claiming your bot before you do.
  3. You land on the control panel. Go to Connection and scan the QR with WhatsApp → Settings → Linked devices → Link a device.
  4. Send !ping in any chat. The bot answers.

That's the whole setup. Keep the terminal open, or see the Deployment section for keeping Levix running as a service.
