NAME
       geoipupdate - GeoIP2 and GeoLite2 Update Program


SYNOPSIS
       geoipupdate [-Vvh] [-f CONFIG_FILE] [-d TARGET_DIRECTORY]


DESCRIPTION
       geoipupdate  automatically updates GeoIP2 and GeoLite2 databases.  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 HTTPS ports open.


OPTIONS
       -d, --database-directory
              Install  databases  to  a  custom  directory.   This  is optional.  If provided, it
              overrides any DatabaseDirectory set in the configuration file.

       -f, --config-file
              The configuration file to use.  See  GeoIP.conf  and  its  documentation  for  more
              information.  This is optional.  It defaults to /etc/GeoIP.conf.

       -h, --help
              Display help and exit.

       --stack-trace
              Show a stack trace on any error message.  This is primarily useful for debugging.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Enable verbose mode.  Prints out the steps that geoipupdate takes.


EXIT STATUS
       geoipupdate returns 0 on success and 1 on error.


NOTES
       Typically  you  should  run  geoipupdate  weekly.   On most Unix-like systems, this can be
       achieved by using cron.  Below is a sample crontab file  that  runs  geoipupdate  on  each
       Wednesday at noon:

              # top of crontab

              MAILTO=your@email.com

              0 12 * * 3 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.
