libGeoIP must access a file which contains the database of the location of each IP address.
There is a free version which can be downloaded from the project website and it is also present in the package management of the all big Linux distribution.

It is also tricky to come up with a "one-size-fits-all" solution because such databases can be installed anywhere on the target but also different versions are delivered between different distributions.

For instance, Debian seems to deliver a GeoIP city database whereas Ubuntu delivers the country edition.
