 ## One-Step Automated Install

 Those who want to get started quickly and conveniently may install Pi-hole using the following command:

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

+```

 ## Alternative Install Methods
+
 [Piping to `bash` is controversial](https://pi-hole.net/2016/07/25/curling-and-piping-to-bash), as it prevents you from [reading code that is about to run](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh) on your system. Therefore, we provide these alternative installation methods which allow code review before installation:

 ### Method 1: Clone our repository and run
-```
+
+```bash
 git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git Pi-hole
 cd "Pi-hole/automated install/"
 sudo bash basic-install.sh
 ```

 ### Method 2: Manually download the installer and run
-```

+```bash
 wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net

 ## Faster-than-light Engine
+
 FTLDNS is a lightweight, purpose-built daemon used to provide statistics needed for the Web Interface, and its API can be easily integrated into your own projects. As the name implies, FTLDNS does this all *very quickly*!

 Some of the statistics you can integrate include:
-* Total number of domains being blocked
-* Total number of DNS queries today
-* Total number of ads blocked today
-* Percentage of ads blocked
-* Unique domains
-* Queries forwarded (to your chosen upstream DNS server)
-* Queries cached
-* Unique clients

 The API can be accessed via [`telnet`](https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL), the Web (`admin/api.php`) and Command Line (`pihole -c -j`). You can out find [more details over here](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-api/1863).

 ## The Origin Of Pi-hole
+
 Pi-hole being an **advertising-aware DNS/Web server**, makes use of the following technologies:

-* [`dnsmasq`](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) - a lightweight DNS and DHCP server
-* [`curl`](https://curl.haxx.se/) - A command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax
-* [`lighttpd`](https://www.lighttpd.net/) - web server designed and optimized for high performance
-* [`php`](https://www.php.net/) - a popular general-purpose web scripting language
-* [AdminLTE Dashboard](https://github.com/ColorlibHQ/AdminLTE) - premium admin control panel based on Bootstrap 3.x

 While quite outdated at this point, [this original blog post about Pi-hole](https://jacobsalmela.com/2015/06/16/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0/) goes into **great detail** about how Pi-hole was originally set up and how it works. Syntactically, it's no longer accurate, but the same basic principles and logic still apply to Pi-hole's current state.
