       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.

       geoipupdate returns 0 on success and 1 on error.
