Thanks, seems he got it installed, mine won't even install..

i'm new to this..

how would you resolve that?

If you are saying pihole wouldn't install, it could be because one of your repositories isn't working. Look for any errors when you run sudo apt update. Deselect any problem repositories and try to install pihole then.

so I tried this command : curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

And I end up with this https://i.ibb.co/dL8yzPp/Capture.jpg

Error: Unable to update package cache. Please try "\e[1;31m"

Please run

sudo apt-get update

and post a screenshot of the result.

You added this PPA manually and it isn't supporting Ubuntu 18.10. You first need to remove it before you can install any additional software (including Pi-hole) on this machine.

Confirmed. This PPA supports only Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. Remove it using

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubilinux/up

Then rerun

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

Thanks!

That worked. Got it installed, and configured (I believe) now to test it.
