The GeoIP Update program performs automatic updates of GeoIP2 and GeoIP Legacy binary databases. CSV databases are not supported.
Currently the program only supports Linux and other Unix-like systems.
MaxMind provides a PPA for recent version of Ubuntu. To add the PPA to your sources, run:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maxmind/ppa
Then install geoipupdate by running:
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install geoipupdate
To install this from the source package, you will need a C compiler, Make, the zlib library and headers, and the curl library and headers. On Debian or Ubuntu, you can install these dependencies by running:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g-dev
Once you have the necessary dependencies, run the following commands:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
The configure script takes the standard options to set where files are
installed such as --prefix, etc. See ./configure --help for details.
To install from Git, you will need automake, autoconf, and libtool installed.
