Creating Geo Location Data Set¶

Follow the procedure below in order to create a Geo Location dataset to use when Configuring Geolocation Based Statistics.

Create an account in www.maxmind.com and download the GeoLite2 City: CSV Format as a ZIP file.
Download the geoip-2-csv-converter from https://github.com/maxmind/geoip2-csv-converter/releases according to your operating system.

Unzip the latest CSV file and the geoip-2-csv-converter you have downloaded in the steps above.
Run update-geolocation-data.sh file using the command below.

For Linux : update-geolocation-data.sh

For Mac: update-geolocation-data.sh
```
sh update-geolocation-data.sh
```
- Enter the path to the extracted GeoLite2-City-Blocks-IPv4 directory which you downloaded first, as the response for Enter path to GeoLite2-City-Blocks-IPv4 directory:
  
  E.g : /<PATH_TO>/GeoLite2-City-CSV_20200310
- Enter the path to geoip2-csv-converter directory as the response for Enter path to geoip2-csv-converter home directory:
  
  E.g : /<PATH_TO>/geoip2-csv-converter-v1.1.0
- After executing the script, you will find the final.csv file inside your current directory.
```
** get first column form original
** change column name to ‘network_cidr’
** Extract ip address data
** change column name to ‘network_blocks’
** extract entries from original cut: /home/user/xxx/geoip2-csv-converter-v1.1x.0/GeoLite2-City-Blocks-IPv4-converted.csv: No such file or directory
** change column name to ‘network’
** change column name to ‘broadcast’
** merge csv files
```
The created final.csv file and the GeoLite2-City-Locations-en.csv file (located in the downloaded latest CSV zip file) will be used in the next step.
