# Automated Install
|
|
#### Designed For Raspberry Pi B, B+, 2,
|
|
##### and Zero (with an Ethernet adapter)
|
|
|
|
1. Install Raspbian
|
|
2. Run the command below
|
|
|
|
### ```curl -L install.pi-hole.net | bash```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once installed, **configure any device to use the Raspberry Pi as its DNS server and the ads will be blocked**. You can also configure your router's DHCP options to assign the Pi as clients DNS server so they do not need to do it manually.

## Partnering With Optimal.com
|
|
|
|
Pi-hole will be teaming up with [Rob Leathern's subscription service to avoid ads](https://medium.com/@robleathern/block-ads-on-all-home-devices-for-53-18-a5f1ec139693#.gj1xpgr5d). This service is unique and will help content-creators and publishers [still make money from visitors who are using an ad ablocker](http://techcrunch.com/2015/12/17/the-new-optimal/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Technical Details
|
|
|
|
A more detailed explanation of the installation can be found [here](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0).
|
|
|
|
## Gravity
|
|
The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/jacobsalmela/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).
|
|
|
|
## Whitelist and blacklist
|
|
You can add a `whitelist.txt` or `blacklist.txt` in `/etc/pihole/` and the script will apply those files automatically.
|
|
|
|
## 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`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Custom Config File
|
|
If you want to use your own variables for the gravity script (i.e. storing the files in a different location) and don't want to have to change them every time there is an update to the script, create a file called `/etc/pihole/pihole.conf`. In it, you should add your own variables in a similar fashion as shown below:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
piholeDir=/var/run/pihole
|
|
adList=/etc/dnsmasq.d/adList
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [Wiki](https://github.com/jacobsalmela/pi-hole/wiki/Customization) entry for more details.

### How It Works
|
|
A technical and detailed description can be found [here](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0)!
|
|
|
|
## 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 only works for a clean install of Raspiban right now since that is how the project originated.
