AdGuard Home Quickstart
Start your journey with AdGuard Home swiftly using this concise and informative quickstart guide, empowering you to enhance your internet security and privacy.
Linux and macOS
Using curl
If you prefer using curl, you can execute the following command in your
terminal:
curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v
This command will download the installation script and execute it. The flags are
used to ensure a -s silent, -S show errors, and -L follow redirects
respectively. The -v flag is optional and stands for verbose output.
Using wget
Alternatively, if you prefer wget, you can run this command in your terminal:
wget --no-verbose -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v
Similar to curl, this command downloads the script and executes it. The--no-verbose flag ensures minimal output, while -O redirects the output to stdout.
Using fetch
For FreeBSD users or those who prefer fetch, you can execute the following
command in your terminal:
fetch -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v
This command downloads the script using fetch and then executes it. The-o flag directs the output to stdout.
After downloading and executing the installation script, AdGuardHome will be installed on your system. However, make sure to review and understand the contents of the script before running it to ensure it aligns with your security practices.
Script Options
The installation script provides several options:
-c <channel>: Use a specified channel.-r: Reinstall AdGuard Home.-u: Uninstall AdGuard Home.-v: Enable verbose output.
Please note that the -r and -u options cannot be used simultaneously as they
are mutually exclusive.
Alternative Methods
If you prefer manual installation, you can refer to the getting started article on the AdGuard Home website for detailed instructions.
Alternatively, you can use the official Docker image available on Docker Hub or install AdGuard Home securely and easily from the Snap Store if you’re running Ubuntu.
These alternative methods offer flexibility based on your preferences and system setup.
