Before get into code you need first download GeoLite2 database. i drop link down. once you enter the GeoLite2 page you need signup and then only you can able to download the database. After click the download link, download page will open in that page you need to download Geolite2-city-20220201.tar.gz file. After download you need to extract that downloaded file using some gz file extracting app. then all set lets get back to code.
