# 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
```
