Prerequisites
In order to use simplegeoip2, you must have the MaxMind GeoLite2 databases on your system. This simplest way to do this is to use the geoipupdate tool from MaxMind.
Installation
While this script should work under Python 2 and 3, using Python 3 for your OS is strongly recommended.
On Debian or Ubuntu systems, run:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Python 3 installers for Windows and macOS can be found at https://www.python.org/downloads/
To install or upgrade to the latest stable release of checkdmarc on macOS or Linux, run
$ sudo pip3 -U install simplegeoip2
Or, install the latest development release directly from GitHub:
$ sudo pip3 -U install git+https://github.com/domainaware/simplegeoip2.git
Note to Windows users
On Windows, pip3 is pip, regardless if you installed Python 2 or 3. So on Windows, simply substitute pip as an administrator in place of sudo pip3, in the above commands.
