+Installation
+It comes pre-installed on most distributions and we recommend that you use the installed version unless you really need the latest version. In case of Debian based systems, you can use apt-get install ddclient to install it.
+
+Be sure to put all the parameters in the configuration file before running DDClient. You can run DDClient as /usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300 -syslog which ensures that it is in daemon mode.
+
+If you think your configuration is correct, but DDClient does not work as expected, you can enable debug and verbose messages by running ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet
