  This check can be skipped by setting the environment variable PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK to true
  e.g: export PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true
  By setting this variable to true you acknowledge there may be issues with Pi-hole during or after the install
  If that is the case, you can feel free to ask the community on Discourse with the Community Help category:

OK thanks all,

I guess I was overthinking it and was looking for a config file or something, this worked really appreciate it.

I really want to continue using Pi-Hole.
