First, you need to install MaxMind C Api including geoipupdate utility.
Second, configure /usr/local/etc/GeoIP.conf file with your LicenseKey, UserId and ProductIds. A sample config file:
UserId 424242 LicenseKey zLzIYFYENTZOyAyNdSdWbEoR42 ProductIds 106
Put the following script at – /etc/cron.monthly/updategeoip.sh (cron job)
