Answer 1

You will need a (free) license key. You can use this bash 1 liner with YOUR_LICENSE_KEY

curl "https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-Country&license_key=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY&suffix=tar.gz" -o GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz \
  && tar -xzvf GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz \
  && mkdir -p /var/opt/maxmind/ \
  && mv GeoLite2-Country_*/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb /var/opt/maxmind/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb

Answer 2

I think instead of going through the lengthy registration process, one should download it from this github repo. At the time of this writing, this repo was very recent.
