Hi

I am new to GenieACS and tried to install GenieACS for testing purposes on my old PC but mongodb requires avx support unfortunately not supported by the CPU.

So my questions are:

- What use does GenieACS make of the mongodb software?
- Can I use an alternative database software for GenieACS?

Thanks.

Marco
