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:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh -
Windows:
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:
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
:::tip Why set DATA_DIR?
Setting DATA_DIR ensures your chats and settings are saved in a predictable location. If you don't set it, uvx might store it in a temporary folder that gets deleted when the process ends.
