Install

The recommended way to install owui is into a user-local directory. This does not require sudo.

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/christestet/owui-go/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

The script installs to ~/.local/bin by default. If this directory is not in your PATH, the script will provide instructions on how to add it.

On macOS (zsh), the installer also tries to set up shell completion automatically. If your current shell session was already running during install, reload your shell config once:

Terminal window
source ~/.zshrc
Terminal window
go install github.com/christestet/owui-go/cmd/owui@latest
Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/christestet/owui-go.git
cd owui-go
make build
# Binary is at ./bin/owui

To completely remove owui and its configuration:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/christestet/owui-go/main/scripts/uninstall.sh | sh

Alternatively, remove the files manually:

Terminal window
rm ~/.local/bin/owui
# Remove configuration
rm -rf ~/.config/owui # Linux
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/owui # macOS
