|
# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
|
Pi-hole is easy to setup using our intelligent installer. Once you are set up, just use Pi-hole as your DNS server and ads will immediately be blocked--no additional client-side software needed!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 1. Install a supported operating system
|
|
|
|
|
Pi-hole works on [many Linux distros](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requirements/273).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 2. Install Pi-hole
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the [install command](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/#one-step-automated-install).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 3. Use Pi-hole as your DNS server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure your router’s DHCP options to [force clients to use 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), or manually configure each device to use the Pi-hole as their DNS server.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 4. Block ads everywhere
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since Pi-hole works at the DNS level, ads can be blocked in non-traditional places such as ad-support mobile apps and smart TVs.
