1. Install a [supported operating system](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requirements/273/1)
2. Run the command below (it downloads [this script](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh) in case you want to read over it first!)
(Optionally nano|vi|vim|cat the basic-install.sh file to verify the actions it will take)
bash basic-install.sh
```
Or
##### Or
If you wish to read over the script before running it, then after the [`wget`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/wget) command, run `nano basic-install.sh` to open the file in a text viewer.
The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh) does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of [over 1.6 million entries](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0) (if you decide to use the [mahakala list](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/963eacfe0537a7abddf30441c754c67ca1e40965)). This script is controlled by the `pihole` command. Please run `pihole -h` to see what commands can be run via `pihole`.

## Technical Details
The Pi-hole is an **advertising-aware DNS/Web server**. If an ad domain is queried, a small Web page or GIF is delivered in place of the advertisement. You can also [replace ads with any image you want](http://pi-hole.net/faq/is-it-possible-to-change-the-blank-page-that-takes-place-of-the-ads-to-something-else/) since it is just a simple Webpage taking place of the ads.
### Gravity
The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh) does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of [over 1.6 million entries](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0) (if you decide to use the [mahakala list](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/963eacfe0537a7abddf30441c754c67ca1e40965)). This script is controlled by the `pihole` command. Please run `pihole -h` to see what commands can be run via `pihole`.
#### Other Operating Systems
The automated install is only for a clean install of a Debian family or Fedora based system, such as the Raspberry Pi. However, this script will work for most UNIX-like systems, some with some slight **modifications** that we can help you work through. If you can install `dnsmasq` and a Webserver, it should work OK. If there are other platforms you'd like supported, let us know.
## Web Interface
### Web Interface
The [Web interface](https://github.com/jacobsalmela/AdminLTE#pi-hole-admin-dashboard) will be installed automatically so you can view stats and change settings. You can find it at:
