Document geolite2 database installation

Created on 3 March 2023, almost 2 years ago

This issue arises from activating the Analytics module. When I did, I got an error message which reads:

Error message
GeoLite2 City Database must be downloaded to the libraries folder. Check out the documentation at https://podcastpublisher.org for more information! (Currently using Geolite2 City Database version None)

So I went over to podcastpublisher.org and I see the CLI installation instructions, and the link back to the profile here on Drupal.org... but when I click "Get Started" which would seem to be the only other option that might lead to documentation, I get a page that appears to be for the "engine" that runs that site, basically telling how to add documentation. I find nothing anywhere that appears to be actual documentation for the module. Nothing talking about GeoLite2 City Database. The profile page here makes no mention of it. I was able to do a Google search and, I believe, found what I was looking for, but I haven't downloaded/tried it yet... but it would be good to mention that the Analytics module requires that library, and where to find it, etc.

Yes, you are right, I did not find the time yet to properly document the module. You'll need to have the Geolite 2 city database file in web/libraries/geolite2/GeoLite2-City.mmdb

You can either download and manually place it there, or add the following repository to your composer.json and run composer require podcast-publisher-analytics/geolite2

        {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "podcast-publisher-analytics/geolite2",
                "version": "1.0.0",
                "type": "drupal-library",
                "dist": {
                    "url": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/geolite2-city@latest/GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz",
                    "type": "gzip"
                }
            }
        }
