GeoIP Update

The GeoIP Update program performs automatic updates of GeoIP2 and GeoIP Legacy binary databases. CSV databases are not supported.

This is the new version of GeoIP Update. If for some reason you need the legacy C version, you can find it here.

Installation from source or Git

You need the Go compiler (1.8+). You can get it at the Go website.

The easiest way is via go get:

$ go get -u github.com/maxmind/geoipupdate2/cmd/geoipupdate

The program will be installed to $GOPATH/bin/geoipupdate.

Configuring

Please see our online guide for directions on how to configure GeoIP Update.

Documentation

See our documentation for the geoipupdate program and the GeoIP.conf configuration file.

Default config file and database directory paths

We define default paths for the config file and database directory. If these defaults are not appropriate for you, you can change them at build time using flags:

go build -ldflags "-X main.defaultConfigFile=/etc/GeoIP.conf \
    -X main.defaultDatabaseDirectory=/usr/share/GeoIP"
