# GeoIP Update
## Description
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.
## Installing on Ubuntu
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 aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install geoipupdate
## Installing From Source File
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
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.
## Installing From GitHub
To install from Git, you will need automake, autoconf, and libtool installed.
