GEOIPUPDATE(1)              General Commands Manual             GEOIPUPDATE(1)

NAME
       geoipupdate - GeoIP2 and GeoIP Legacy Update Program
SYNOPSIS
       geoipupdate [-Vvh] [-f license_file] [-d target_directory]
DESCRIPTION
       geoipupdate automatically updates GeoIP2 and GeoIP Legacy databases for
       MaxMind customers. The program connects to  the  MaxMind  GeoIP  Update
       server  to check for new databases. If a new database is available, the
       program will download and install it.
       If you are using a firewall, you must have the DNS  and  HTTP(S)  ports
       open.
OPTIONS
       -V     Display version information.
       -v     Enable  verbose  mode.  Prints  out  the  steps that geoipupdate
              takes.
       -d     Install databases to a custom directory. By default  geoipupdate
              installs to /usr/share/GeoIP.
       -f     Use    an    alternate    configuration    file.   Defaults   to
              /etc/GeoIP.conf.
USAGE
       Typically you should run geoipupdate weekly. One way to achieve this is
       to  use  cron.  Below is a sample crontab file that runs geoipupdate on
       each Wednesday at noon:
              # top of crontab
              MAILTO=your AT email.com
              0 12 * * 3 BIN_DIR/geoipupdate
              # end of crontab
       To use with a proxy server, update your GeoIP.conf file as specified in
       the GeoIP.conf man page or set the http_proxy environment variable.
RETURN CODES
       geoipupdate returns 0 on success and 1 on error.
FILES
