📄 Description

Issue

Fixes #23063

Problem

When installing open-webui via uvx, the package fails with:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

The error occurs at:

backend/open_webui/env.py:18 - imports from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/utils.py - also imports BeautifulSoup

However, beautifulsoup4 was not listed in pyproject.toml dependencies.

Solution

Add beautifulsoup4==4.13.3 to the dependencies list in pyproject.toml.

Testing

User reported that downgrading to v0.8.8 works, suggesting the regression happened in recent versions
Adding this dependency should fix the uvx installation issue

Checklist

I have read and followed all instructions in README.md
The proposed changes are minimal and targeted
I have tested the fix (dependency resolution)
