This is the repository for the deprecated C version of geoipupdate. For the new version as well as to report issues related to C version, please visit the new repository.
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 apt update
$ sudo apt 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
On Centos 7 or RHEL 7, you can install these dependencies by running:
$ sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
$ sudo yum install libcurl-devel zlib-devel
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.
