Using Virtual Environments

Create isolated Python environments using venv.
Steps

Create a Virtual Environment:
python3 -m venv venv

Activate the Virtual Environment:

  • On Linux/macOS:
    source venv/bin/activate

  • On Windows:
    venv\Scripts\activate

Install Open WebUI:
pip install open-webui

Start the Server:
open-webui serve

You need to first create a venv, then activate it and then start the server with previous commands.
Hope that helps :)
