Can somebody help me??

would be nice to check your commands. You missed a -:

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
     ^

It's interesting that pi-hole has gotten some attention at RIPE lately: https://labs.ripe.net/author/johanne...llation-guide/

Here is my next video about trying to download pi-hole into my computer. Can you help me how do i get forward from this position???

I would not download that over and over.

Here is the source.zip
https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/a...ads/master.zip

Decompress that into a temporary directory and use it. Then look at the installer script to see what it is doing.

Either from the source tree:
/master/automated install/basic-install.sh

Or from github source page:
https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/b...sic-install.sh

And this:

'ls -l'

Will not work. Those single quotes were to show you the command to run. You probably should stop and learn a little about linux and shell before you go any further.

I would not just blindly install stuff from the internet without knowing what is does, or looking at the source.

I want to continue this pi-hole task with assist of pan64 for finally getting program which blocks websites from my computer. I don't want to constantly switch plans like downloading pi-hole, not downnloading pi-hole. It doesn't help me at all. I will do it
with help of other person..

I clicked this source zip and there wasn't any button called ''decompress'' into temporary directory.. Where do i find this decompress and which thing i'm clicking there? I don't know where is install script there in zip files..

I wrote this to the terminal: /master/automated install/basic-install.sh.
Terminal just said command is not found..

I want to use help of others and not to learn just on my own. Why it's so difficult to simple have program which blocks websites. Through windows it's much easier to download blocking system to the computer.. I will try this way still..

The problem is your [missing] knowledge. You don't understand what's going on, what is written and executed, you don't understand the responses/answers.
And also you mistype commands, which makes it extremely hard [to help].

So try the following (do not execute lines beginning with a #:

cd /tmp
# this will create a new file in the current directory, which is /tmp
wget https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh
# You can check the result:
ls -l /tmp/basic-install.sh
# you will need to see something like this:
# -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1156134 Jan 23 16:03 basic-install.sh
# now make it executable:
chmod +x /tmp/basic-install.sh
# and execute it as root
sudo /tmp/basic-install.sh

Unfortunately there is no gui to do this.

I totally agree; but I personally don't think it's necessary to read the actual source code.
Reading the README & installation instructions before I go any further, yes.
And watch out for peer review, although that's definitely A-OK with pihole.

@OP, you definitely should get a basic grasp of shell commands, and how your OS connects to the network (specifically for pihole).

Hey. Is it possible for have just simple program for linux and download that and it will block websites for time or internet and solve the problem in simple way?

Nftables can do that by IP address. It replaced the legacy packet filter iptables a while.

https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftab..._in_10_minutes

It can also work easily with sets.

I suppose if you combine that with DNSmasq or another local DNS server, then you can block anything.

You were told about nftables in post #3. You seem to have ignored numerous people telling you what you're wanting to do is not 'simple', and requires you to configure things to fit your environment. It was also suggested to you that you learn Linux basics first, but seem to have ignored that as well. Unless you start learning on your own, reading the documentation, and moving forward, there's nothing else we can tell you.

Nftables is the best way to go.
