Importing the latest MaxMind GeoLite2 database into MySQL

Question

MaxMind is now offering a GeoLite2 DB as described on their site.

The trouble is that they no longer offer CSV download, only a binary MMDB binary database format.

I can't find anything online about how to unmangle the MMDB format and install it into my local MySQL database.

When I open the MMDB file in Notepad+, it's just a binary mess.

How can I use this MMDB file to populatte my local MySQL database?
