## One-Step Automated Install
|
||||
1. Install a [supported operating system](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requirements/273/1)
|
||||
2. Run the following command
|
||||
Those who want to get started quickly and conveniently, may install Pi-hole using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
#### `curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash`
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative Install Methods
|
||||
[Piping to `bash` _can_ be dangerous](https://pi-hole.net/2016/07/25/curling-and-piping-to-bash/), so we understand the importance of giving people the option to review our code! Our installer is [found here](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh), if you wish to read it before running.
|
||||
[Piping to `bash` is controversial](https://pi-hole.net/2016/07/25/curling-and-piping-to-bash), as it prevents you from [reading code that is about to run](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh) on your system. Therefore, we provide these alternative installation methods which allow code review before installation:
|
||||
|
||||
You can install Pi-hole via one of the two alternative methods:
|
||||
|
||||
### Clone our repository and run the automated installer from your device
|
||||
### Method 1: Clone our repository and run
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git Pi-hole
|
||||
cd "Pi-hole/automated install/"
|
||||
bash basic-install.sh
|
||||
sudo bash basic-install.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manually download and execute the install file
|
||||
### Method 2: Manually download the installer and run
|
||||
```
|
||||
wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net
|
||||
bash basic-install.sh
|
||||
sudo bash basic-install.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-install: Make your network take advantage of Pi-hole
|
||||
|
||||
Once the installer has been run, you will need to [configure your router to have **DHCP clients use the Pi-hole as their DNS server**](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-configure-my-devices-to-use-pi-hole-as-their-dns-server/245) so that any device that connects to your network will have ads blocked without any further intervention.

|
||||
|
||||
If your router does not support setting the DNS server, you can [use Pi-hole's built in DHCP server](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-use-pi-holes-built-in-dhcp-server-and-why-would-i-want-to/3026); just be sure to disable DHCP on your router first (if it has that feature available).

## The Origin Of Pi-hole
|
||||
Pi-hole being a **advertising-aware DNS/Web server**, makes use of the following technologies:
|
||||
|
||||
* [`dnsmasq`](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) - a lightweight DNS and DHCP server
|
||||
* [`curl`](https://curl.haxx.se) - A command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax
|
||||
* [`lighttpd`](https://www.lighttpd.net) - webserver designed and optimized for high performance
|
||||
* [`php`](https://secure.php.net) - a popular general-purpose web scripting language
|
||||
* [AdminLTE Dashboard](https://github.com/almasaeed2010/AdminLTE) - premium admin control panel based on Bootstrap 3.x

While quite outdated at this point, [this original blog post about Pi-hole](https://jacobsalmela.com/2015/06/16/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0/) goes into **great detail** about how Pi-hole was originally setup and how it works. Syntactically, it's no longer accurate, but the same basic principles and logic still apply to Pi-hole's current state.
