Other Ways To Support Us
If you're not the type to give away money, there are other ways support us: you can sign up for services through our affiliate links, which will also help us offset some of the costs associated with keeping Pi-hole operational.
One-Step Automated Install
- Install a supported operating system
- Run the command below (it downloads this script in case you want to read over it first!)
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Alternative Semi-Automated Install Methods
If you wish to read over the script before running it, run nano basic-install.sh to open the file in a text viewer.
Clone our repository and run the automated installer from your device.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git Pi-hole
cd Pi-hole/automated\ install/
bash basic-install.sh
Or
wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net
bash basic-install.sh
Once installed, configure your router to have DHCP clients use the Pi-hole as their DNS server and then any device that connects to your network will have ads blocked without any further configuration.
If your router does not support setting the DNS server, you can use Pi-hole's built in DHCP server; just be sure to disable DHCP on your router first.
Alternatively, you can manually set each device to use Pi-hole as their DNS server.

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.
Gravity: Finding Ads To Block
The gravity.sh script does most of the magic. The script pulls in over 100,000 known ad-serving domains from many sources and aggregates them into a single list.
Additional Blocklists
You can also use Pi-hole to block additional domains beyond the defaults. It can even be used to block malware or phising domains. The Big Blocklist Collection is a good resource for finding additional domains to block.
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 web server, it should work OK. If there are other platforms you'd like supported, let us know.
Web Interface
The Web interface 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
Whitelist and blacklist
Domains can be whitelisted and blacklisted using either the web interface or the command line. See the wiki page for more details
Settings
The settings page lets you control and configure your Pi-hole. You can do things like:
- enable Pi-hole's built-in DHCP server
- exclude domains from the graphs
- configure upstream DNS servers
- and more!
Built-in DHCP Server
Pi-hole ships with a built-in DHCP server. This allows you to let your network devices use Pi-hole as their DNS server if your router does not let you adjust the DHCP options.
API
A basic read-only API can be accessed at /admin/api.php. It returns the following 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 via ssh or on an 2.8" LCD screen. This is accomplished via chronometer.sh.
