  licenseKey: '-= license key =-', // https://support.maxmind.com/hc/en-us/sections/1260801610490-Manage-my-License-Keys
  maxItemsInCache: 10000, // https://www.npmjs.com/package/maxmind See "Options"

  dbDir: './mm-db' // Default: ./maxmind-db
};

const geoIp = await startGeoIP(maxMindOptions);
if (geoIp) {
  const result = geoIp.lookupEx('103.100.173.193', 'en');
  console.log(result)
}
