Ensure you have DBD::SQLite installed (cpan DBD::SQLite or cpanm DBD::SQLite), ensure your maxmind licence key is valid and listed in the config file, from the command line run:

geoip --fetch --DB=dbi:SQLite:dbname=geoip.db
[download]

The program will create a new database called geoip.db, create the required schema and populate it with the data from maxmind.

Ok I'm getting close. I created a directory called "dat" (/home/user/dat) and ran the command from the "dat" directory. I got the error message: `geoip --fetch --DB=dbi:SQLite:dbname=geoip.db No license key in config file Issuing rollback() due to DESTROY without explicit disconnect() of DBD +::SQLite::db handle dbname=geoip.db at /home/user/perl5/bin/geoip lin +e 229` [download] So I went to get my license key and wrote the two lines in a file and saved it as geoip.rc (as well as geoip): `license-id : myID icense-key : MyLicenseKey` [download] Then I uploaded geoip.rc to "/home/" and ran the command. I got the same error message. I tried uploading "geoip" (which is the same as geoip.rc) to "/home/.config" and ran the geoip command again. Still the same thing. Where should I place the config file (geoip.rc) and are my two lines sufficient?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The documentation shows you `$home` not `/home`, but to avoid confusion: `echo $HOME /home/marto` [download] Copy this config file in the home directory of the user running the script.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I made three files "geoip.rc", ".geoiprc" and "geoip" all containing the same two lines of licence ID and license key in the format prescribed and uploaded respectively to: `/home/user/geoip.rc /home/user/.geoiprc /home/me/.config/geoip` [download] I'm still getting the same thing. I see geoip.db created in the "/home/user/dat" directory where I ran the geoip command. Do I have to run the geoip command at "/home/user"? I'm not a paid user of Maxmind - signed up as a free user. Is that why my license key is not recognised?	[reply] [d/l]
