### Installation with `uv`
The `uv` runtime manager ensures seamless Python environment management for applications like Open WebUI. Follow these steps to get started:
#### 1. Install `uv`
Pick the appropriate installation command for your operating system:
- **macOS/Linux**:
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
- **Windows**:
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```
#### 2. Run Open WebUI
Once `uv` is installed, running Open WebUI is a breeze. Use the command below, ensuring to set the `DATA_DIR` environment variable to avoid data loss. Example paths are provided for each platform:
- **macOS/Linux**:
```bash
DATA_DIR=~/.open-webui uvx --python 3.11 open-webui@latest serve
```
- **Windows**:
```powershell
$env:DATA_DIR="C:\open-webui\data"; uvx --python 3.11 open-webui@latest serve
```
