How to install

[da4nik]

1. Install libmaxminddb
2. Put into your Gemfile "gem 'geoip2', github: 'da4nik/geoip2'" or "gem 'geoip2', github: 'da4nik/geoip2' require: 'GeoIP2'"
3. bundle install
4. download local GeoLite2 database file
5. use it

let me know if there are still questions.

I had some issues installing this until I changed gem 'geoip2', github: 'da4nik/geoip2' to gem 'geoip2', github: 'da4nik/geoip2', require: 'GeoIP2' in my Gemfile. This is the only place in the repo where I found anything on setting the require option as such, so I'm wondering if this should be added to the Readme? Just a suggestion, thanks for the gem :)

Basically I am trying to use this from within a fluentd plugin. At the top of my class I have "required 'Geoip2'

then in a method in my class I do GeoIP2::locate(....

and it errors with

NameError: uninitialized constant MyClass::GeoIP2

Also tried a simple ruby file like your example and get

x.rb:3:in `

': uninitialized constant GeoIP2 (NameError)

require 'GeoIP2'

city = GeoIP2::locate('/patch/to/GeoLite2-City.mmdb', 'some.ip', 'en')

Hey guys, i've just updated gem with autorequire fix and basic configuration.

Pulled down the latest and did:

gem build geoip2.gemspec
Successfully built RubyGem
Name: geoip2
Version: 0.0.7
File: geoip2-0.0.7.gem

fluent-gem install geoip2-0.0.7.gem
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed geoip2-0.0.7
Parsing documentation for geoip2-0.0.7
unable to convert "\xCF" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/GeoIP2.bundle, skipping
1 gem installed

Then when trying to run, (note this is not a rails project)

error_class=NameError error=NameError: uninitialized constant MyClassName::GeoIP2

My class does

require 'GeoIP2' at the top and then in an instance method

geoip = GeoIP2::locate('/my/path/GeoLite2-City.mmdb', someIpAddr, 'en')

I've had to do

require 'geoip2.o'

In order to get the GeoIP2 constant exported correctly (OSX 10.9)

Merged pull request for fixing this.

TL;DR brew install libmaxminddb
