All right, now it's demo time.
First, I'm going to open up a terminal on my computer,
and I'm going to ssh into my Pi‑hole.
I called my user holy because it's a Pi‑hole.
Next, I'm going to type in my password, and because we enabled SSH,
I should be able to connect.
There we go.
All right, next, we're going to run this curl command.
So, I'm going to come in here in the address,
and then I'm going to pipe this into Bash.
Basically, this will download it and immediately run the install script.
Once it runs, you'll see some ASCII art that looks like the Pi‑hole logo.
Kind of cool.
This will go through the process of downloading all the
necessary packages and installing them.
This does take a couple of seconds.
All right, and now we're at the automated installer.
Now that we're in the installer,
the first three prompts are going to give us an Ok.
Because it's the only choice, we're going to go ahead and click it.
Now this reminds us that we do need to set it to a static IP address.
We're going to cover that soon.
Next, we'll pick our network interface.
Since this is wired, we're going to go with the Ethernet connection.
And here it says the IP address.
I'm going to go ahead and click Yes.
This will give you a little bit of warning.
All right, next, we need to pick our DNS provider.
As I'm more privacy conscious, I like to choose Quad9.
You can choose any one.
And Pi‑hole does come with some built‑in lists to block things.
I'll go ahead and select that.
Do we want to install the admin interface? Yes. And HTTP
server, and we want to log our queries.
I like to show everything.
Once we've made all of those settings,
it'll go ahead and install it and start adding all the
necessary packages and things to get this to work.
This should just take a minute or two.
Now that we're done with that, we'll have an Installation Complete window.
Go ahead and save this because it will have the admin login password.
Go ahead and write this down, and we can change that later.
All right,
once you've completed, it's probably a good practice to go ahead and
reboot your Pi just to make sure everything works properly.
That wraps up this section of our course.
What we did was downloaded and installed Raspberry Pi OS, and then we set
up a Raspberry Pi SSH so we could remote access it.
After that, we downloaded and installed and set up Pi‑hole on our new
Raspberry Pi. Join me in the next section where we'll be configuring
the Pi‑hole through the web interface, as well as setting up our
router to work with the Pi‑hole.
