## How to Install ⏱️

:::info **Important Note on User Roles and Privacy:**

- **Admin Creation:** The first account created on Open WebUI gains **Administrator privileges**, controlling user management and system settings.
- **User Registrations:** Subsequent sign-ups start with **Pending** status, requiring Administrator approval for access.
- **Privacy and Data Security:** **All your data**, including login details, is **locally stored** on your device. Open WebUI ensures **strict confidentiality** and **no external requests** for enhanced privacy and security.

:::

Choose your preferred installation method below:

- **Docker:** Recommended for most users due to ease of setup and flexibility.
- **Kubernetes:** Ideal for enterprise deployments that require scaling and orchestration.
- **Python:** Suitable for low-resource environments or those wanting a manual setup.
