Windows

In PowerShell:

py -m pip install cptr
cptr run

Your browser opens at http://localhost:8000. If cptr is not recognized after installing, Python's Scripts directory isn't on PATH. Reopen PowerShell after adding it, or install into a virtual environment and run cptr from there.

Terminal fails with a missing VCRUNTIME140.dll​

If opening a terminal reports a missing VCRUNTIME140.dll or Universal CRT DLL, install Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable, then restart cptr.

Which account should run it​

Open WebUI Computer runs with the rights of the Windows account that starts it; that account's permissions decide what the file browser and terminal can reach. Use your normal account; don't run it as administrator just to make a folder easier to reach.
