In the Geolocation settings, there is an option to install the GeoIP database. However, as I have the Matomo code installed in /usr/share/matomo/ and owned by root (as per the Debian package install), Matomo is unable to save the file.

Please change the location of this database to somewhere in the user directory, which is writeable by the server.

I have changed PIWIK_INCLUDE_PATH to PIWIK_USER_PATH at:
https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/3.x-dev/plugins/GeoIp2/LocationProvider/GeoIp2.php#L128
and
https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/3.x-dev/plugins/UserCountry/LocationProvider/GeoIp.php#L202

After creating a misc subdirectory in the user dir, it is successfully downloading the file.

we will make the path for GeoIP2 configurable using DI. See #13913
GeoIP Legacy won't be changed anymore, as it is discontinued by Maxmind
