+# open-webui Installer
+
+This is an installer script, that installs the open-webui as a service in
+Archlinux. By default, the script will install into /opt/open-webui and keep it
+updated, if necessary.
+
+The script installs in several steps:
+
+- Create users, if not exist
+- Create a directory to install into
+- Create a virtual environment to install open-webui into
+- Activate the environment
+- Call the pip installer
+- Copy the service files into /etc/systemd/system
+
+Before installing the service edit the variables in `./installer.conf` as
+appropriate.
+
+The service can be installed with the following command:
+
+```bash
+sudo ./install.sh
+```
+
+Then start the service:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable open-webui.service
+sudo systemctl start open-webui.service
+```
