How to Install the Linux Dynamic Update

Client on Ubuntu
You will be able to install No-IP.coms DUC on Ubuntu in just a few minutes with Terminal.
Once you have opened up your Terminal window you will need to login as the root user.
You can become the root user from the command line by entering sudo -s followed by the
root password on your machine.
1. cd /usr/local/src/

2. wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz

3. tar xf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz

4. cd noip-2.1.9-1/

5. make install

You will then be prompted to login with your No-IP.com account username and password.
If you get make not found or missing gcc then you do not have the gcc compiler tools
on your machine. You will need to install these in order to proceed.

To Configure the Client


As root again (or with sudo) issue the below command:
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -C (dash capital C, this will create the default config file)

You will then be prompted for your username and password for No-IP, as well as which
hostnames you wish to update. Be careful, one of the questions is Do you wish to update
ALL hosts. If answered incorrectly this could effect hostnames in your account that are
pointing at other locations.
Now the client is installed and configured, you just need to launch it. Simply issue this final
command to launch the client in the background:
/usr/local/bin/noip2

Read the README file in the no-ip-2.1.9 folder for instructions on how to make the client
run at startup. This varies depending on what Linux distribution you are running.

And you are done! The DUC should now be installed on Ubuntu.
