Data

Free test data
For development environments, free test data is available from https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/. Download these databases, and move all the .mmdb files into the same directory. Then set the  variable to the path to the directory containing the .mmdb files, plus the prefix. Do this by adding the following to LocalSettings.php: replacing $pathToDir with the path to the directory containing the .mmdb files.

Paid test data
For development environments, paid test data is available from https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/. Download these databases; GeoIP2 Anonymous IP(GZIP) and GeoIP2 Enterprise(ZIP). Then move all the .mmdb files into the same directory. Then set the $wgIPInfoGeoIP2EnterprisePath variable to the path to the directory containing the .mmdb files, plus the prefix. Do this by adding the following to LocalSettings.php: replacing $pathToDir with the path to the directory containing the .mmdb files.
