How to install No-IP Linux Dynamic Update Client (DUC) on your Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Archiving from here.

You will be able to install No-IP.com’s DUC 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.

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
tar xf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
cd noip-2.1.9-1/
make install

SVN Fix: Could not use external editor to fetch log message

In case you encounter the following error using SVN — on my Mac, for me:

svn: E205007: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the –message (-m) or –file (-F) options
svn: E205007: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set, and no ‘editor-cmd’ run-time configuration option was found

 Just run the following in your terminal and all will be good:

export SVN_EDITOR=vim   

Note: You can use "nano" or whatever editor you’d like.

Add color to iTerm and terminal on OS X Lion

1. Add the following to your .bash_profile:

# Enables color in the terminal bash shell export
CLICOLOR=1
# Sets up the color scheme for list export
LSCOLORS=gxfxcxdxbxegedabagacad
# Sets up the prompt color (currently a green similar to linux terminal)
export PS1=’\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;36m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ‘
# Enables color for iTerm
export TERM=xterm-color
# Sets up proper alias commands when called
alias ls=’ls -G’
alias ll=’ls -hl’

2. Reload your profile with "source ~/.bash_profile"

3. That’s it!
