1This is the Perl distribution MaxMind-DB-Writer.

3Installing MaxMind-DB-Writer is straightforward.
4
5## Installation with cpanm
6
7If you have cpanm, you only need one line:
8
9    % cpanm MaxMind::DB::Writer
10
11If it does not have permission to install modules to the current perl, cpanm
12will automatically set up and install to a local::lib in your home directory.
13See the local::lib documentation (https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib) for
14details on enabling it in your environment.
15
16## Installing with the CPAN shell
17
18Alternatively, if your CPAN shell is set up, you should just be able to do:
19
20    % cpan MaxMind::DB::Writer
21
22## Manual installation
23
24As a last resort, you can manually install it. Download the tarball, untar it,
25then build it:
26
27    % perl Build.PL
28    % ./Build && ./Build test
29
30Then install it:
31
32    % ./Build install
33
34Or the more portable variation:
35
36    % perl Build.PL
37    % perl Build
38    % perl Build test
39    % perl Build install
40
41If your perl is system-managed, you can create a local::lib in your home
42directory to install modules to. For details, see the local::lib documentation:
43https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib
44
45
46The prerequisites of this distribution will also have to be installed manually. The
47prerequisites are listed in one of the files: `MYMETA.yml` or `MYMETA.json` generated
48by running the manual build process described above.
