Same basic information can be accessed from command line, here is how you configure it, assuming your OSX machine has brew/port, and can compile C source code.
This will install geoiplookup utility:
git clone https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c.git cd geoip-api-c/ autoreconf -ivf ./configure make sudo make install Now we need the actual GeoIP databases that utility will use. You can buy more accurate data, but we'll use the free, less accurate for now:
cd /tmp/ curl -O http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz curl -O http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.dat.gz curl -O http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz curl -O http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCityv6-beta/GeoLiteCityv6.dat.gz curl -O http://download.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/asnum/GeoIPASNum.dat.gz curl -O http://download.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/asnum/GeoIPASNumv6.dat.gz find . -name "Geo*.gz" | xargs -I {} gunzip {} mv GeoLiteCityv6.dat GeoIPCityv6.dat mv GeoLiteCity.dat GeoIPCity.dat sudo mv Geo*.dat /usr/local/share/GeoIP/ Sample run:
