## Originally Designed For the Raspberry Pi Family of Products. Now Works on most Debian and Fedora based distributions on the x86_64 Platform!

### Automated Install
1. Install Raspbian
2. Run the command below (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!)
2016-10-30 14:11:34 +00:00
### `curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash`
### Alternative Semi-Automated install
2016-11-08 09:17:40 +00:00
``` bash
wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net
2016-11-02 04:00:14 +00:00
bash basic-install.sh
```
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.
Once installed, [configure your router to have **DHCP clients use the Pi as their DNS server**](http://pi-hole.net/faq/can-i-set-the-pi-hole-to-be-the-dns-server-at-my-router-so-i-dont-have-to-change-settings-for-my-devices/) and then any device that connects to your network will have ads blocked without any further configuration. Alternatively, you can manually set each device to [use the Raspberry Pi as its DNS server](http://pi-hole.net/faq/how-do-i-use-the-pi-hole-as-my-dns-server/).

## Technical Details
2016-03-04 12:34:17 +00:00
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.
2016-03-04 12:22:54 +00:00
#### Other Operating Systems
This script will work for other UNIX-like systems with some slight **modifications**. As long as you can install `dnsmasq` and a Webserver, it should work OK. The automated install is only for a clean install of a Debian family or Fedora based system, such as the Raspberry Pi. If there are other platforms you'd like supported, let us know.
### 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`.
## 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:
`http://192.168.1.x/admin/index.php` or `http://pi.hole/admin`

2014-06-08 15:02:55 +00:00
### Whitelist and blacklist
Domains can be whitelisted and blacklisted using either the web interface or the command line. See [the wiki page](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/wiki/Whitelisting-and-Blacklisting) for more details ![Whitelist editor in the Web interface](http://i.imgur.com/ogu2ewg.png)
## API
A basic read-only API can be accessed at `/admin/api.php`. It returns the following JSON:
``` json
{
"domains_being_blocked": "136708",
"dns_queries_today": "18108",
"ads_blocked_today": "14648",
"ads_percentage_today": "80.89"
}
```
The same output can be achieved on the CLI by running `chronometer.sh -j`
## Real-time Statistics
You can view [real-time stats](http://pi-hole.net/faq/install-the-real-time-lcd-monitor-chronometer/) via `ssh` or on an [2.8" LCD screen](http://amzn.to/1P0q1Fj). This is accomplished via [`chronometer.sh`](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/advanced/Scripts/chronometer.sh). ![Pi-hole LCD](http://i.imgur.com/nBEqycp.jpg)
